    摘要: Various electromagnetic LWD telemetry systems are disclosed having a wireless repeater positioned on or near the seabed. The wireless repeater receives and demodulates electromagnetic uplink signals and retransmits the uplink signals from the seabed as electromagnetic or acoustic signals. A receiver on the drilling platform or suspended from the water's surface receives the uplink signal and forwards it to a facility for processing and storage. In some embodiments, the wireless repeater takes the form of a sub threaded inline with the drill string with an electromagnetic signal sensor positioned inside the drill string. In other embodiments, the wireless repeater takes the form of a unit that rests on the seabed with electromagnetic signal sensors inserted into the sea bottom.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for using a triad induction tool to identify the formation strike and dip angles. The method can be performed in real time. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) measuring a magnetic coupling between transmitter coils and receiver coils of a tool in the borehole; (2) obtaining from the measured coupling a strike angle between the tool and the formation; (3) applying a rotational transformation to the coupling measurements to correct for the strike angle; and (4) applying a predetermined set of rotational transformations to the coupling to determine coupling term values as a function of rotation angle. A least-squares curve fit or a Hough transform of the derivative of the coupling term values with respect to position may be used to identify the dip angle.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for the determination of horizontal resistivity, vertical resistivity, dip and strike angles of anisotropic earth formations surrounding a wellbore. Electromagnetic couplings among a plural of triad transmitters and triad receivers are measured. Each triad transmitter/receiver consists of coil windings in three mutually orthogonal axes. These measured signals are used to generate initial estimates of the dip angle and strike angle of the formation as well as the anisotropy coefficient and the horizontal resistivity of the formation. An iterative algorithm is then applied using these quantities to finally arrive at more accurate estimates that approach the true values in the formation.

    摘要: Specific embodiments of disclosed downhole telemetry systems and methods employ time-reversal pre-equalization. One downhole telemetry system embodiment includes an acoustic transducer and a digital signal processor. The acoustic transducer transmits an acoustic signal to a distant receiver via a string of drillpipes connected by tool joints. The digital signal processor drives the acoustic transducer with an electrical signal that represents modulated digital data convolved with a time-reversed channel response. Due to the use of time-reversal pre-equalization, the received signal exhibits substantially reduced intersymbol interference.
