摘要： An apparatus for securing a printed wiring assembly (PWA) within an enclosure of a downhole tool includes an elongate base, an elongate cover, and at least one bracket member coupled to the downhole tool. The base is for supporting electrical components that may include electronics, circuitry, conductive strips, and batteries thereon. The cover extends in a longitudinal direction and extends over the central portion of the base. At least one end of the base is uncovered by the cover. The cover includes at least one lateral recess that extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The bracket member has a portion extending into the lateral recess and is configured to engage the cover and secure the cover within the enclosure.

摘要： Systems and methods for downhole telemetry diagnosis. A downhole telemetry system includes a plurality of joints of wired drill pipe connected end-to-end, a first repeater sub, and a second repeater sub. The first repeater sub is connected to an uphole end of the plurality of joints of wired drill pipe. The second repeater sub connected to a downhole end of the plurality of joints of wired drill pipe. The first repeater sub is configured to transmit a signal into one of the joints of wired drill pipe that is connected to the first repeater sub; to detect energy of the transmitted signal returned to the first repeater sub; to measure duration of the returned energy; and to determine an operational state of the first repeater sub based on the measured duration of the returned energy.

摘要： A method for synchronizing a clock in a device at the Earth's surface with a device disposed in a wellbore includes generating a time datum for a signal generated at at least one of the surface and in the wellbore proximate an end of the pipe string. A time delay is determined between detection of the signal at the at least one repeater and retransmission of the signal from the at least one repeater. The time datum is appended with a signal corresponding to the time delay. The retransmitted signal is detected at the other of proximate the end of the pipe string and at the surface.

摘要： A method of monitoring downhole conditions in a borehole includes receiving sensor data through a network of nodes provided at selected positions on a drill string disposed in the borehole. An inference is made about the downhole condition from the sensor data. A determination is made whether the downhole condition matches a target downhole condition within a set tolerance. At least one parameter affecting the downhole condition is selectively adjusted if the downhole condition does not match the target downhole condition within the set tolerance.
