    摘要: One embodiment includes a method comprising receiving an acoustic signal that is propagated along a drill string. The method also includes correlating the acoustic signal to a first stored acoustic signal representing a first symbol, wherein the first stored acoustic signal is acquired from a propagation along the drill string in an approximately noise free environment.

    摘要: In a subterranean well completion a bi-directional signal transmission system includes an in-line acoustic transceiver mounted in a tubing string extending through the wellbore, the transceiver being disposed beneath a hanger structure engaging the tubing string. Via the tubing string the transceiver receives acoustic signals from well parameter sensing apparatus further downhole and converts the received acoustic signals to non-acoustic signals. The resulting non-acoustic signals are then transmitted upwardly through the hanger structure, to a signal receiving location, via cabling. In this manner, the hanger structure does not adversely affect the strength of either upwardly or downwardly transmitted signals traversing it. Alternatively, the acoustic well parameter signals received by the transceiver are converted to electromagnetic signals which pass through the earth, are picked up by a receiver external to the well completion, and then relayed to the receiving location.

    摘要: A drill pipe forms an acoustic transmission channel for data to be transmitted from a downhole transceiver to a surface transceiver. By positioning a first low frequency acoustic attenuator between a drill bit and the downhole transceiver, acoustic noise generated by the drill bit is attenuated. Similarly, by positioning the surface transceiver between the top of the drill pipe and a second low frequency acoustic attenuator, acoustic noise generated by surface equipment is attenuated. In this manner, the first and second low frequency acoustic attenuators serve as terminators for the acoustic transmission channel. Finally, by combining a third low frequency acoustic attenuator positioned between first and second sections of the drill pipe with first and second acoustic transceivers acoustically isolated from one another by the third low frequency acoustic attenuator and non-acoustically coupled to one another for bi-directional exchanges of signals, an acoustic repeater is provided for the transmission channel.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides several methods for selecting and transmitting information from downhole using more than one channel of communication wherein data streams transmitted up each communications channel are each independently interpretable without reference to data provided up the other of the communications channels. Preferred embodiments incorporate the use of a combination of at least two of mud-based telemetry, tubular-based telemetry, and electromagnetic telemetry to achieve improved results and take advantage of opportunities presented by the differences between the different channels of communication.
