    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 downhole crystal-based clock that is substantially insensitive to the factors that may cause frequency deviation as a result of downhole temperature. The clock may include a plurality of crystals, where a first crystal may be more stable, with respect to temperature, than a second crystal. The crystals may be thermally coupled together so that they may have substantially the same temperature. An error detector may monitor the differences between the frequencies associated with each crystal and provide this information to a storage device. This information may be determined prior to deploying the clock downhole. When deployed downhole, the signal from the error detector may be interpreted in light of the information in the storage device to provide a temperature measurement of the two crystals. The downhole temperature measurement then may be used to reduce frequency deviations in the downhole clock that may result from downhole temperatures.

    摘要: Acoustic telemetry installation in subterranean wells. In a described embodiment, a method of contacting an assembly with a generally tubular string in a subterranean well includes the steps of: suspending the tubular string in the well, the tubular string extending into a surface structure; and then displacing the assembly through the structure into contact with an exterior of the tubular string. The assembly can selectively contact any one of several tubular strings or other objects within a wellhead or casing. The assembly can be permanently or temporarily used on the well.

    摘要: An acoustic attenuator includes a housing having an inner side surface which defines an interior chamber and at least one dampening member both physically and acoustically coupled to the housing and projecting into the interior chamber. Acoustic energy propagating within the housing is deflected into the dampening members for acoustically dispersal within the interior chamber. In various aspects thereof, the dampening members may include one or a group of two or more generally cylindrical sleeves having one end both physically and acoustically coupled to the housing and a second end projecting into the interior chamber. Preferably, when a group of two or more cylindrical sleeves are employed, the sleeves are nested within one another. The dampening members may further include a second, oppositely disposed, group of two or more acoustic attenuators nested within one another and interdigitated with the first group of cylindrical sleeves.
