    摘要: Reservoir characterization based on observations of displacements at the earth's surface. One method of characterizing a reservoir includes the steps of: detecting a response of the reservoir to a stimulus, the stimulus causing a pressure change in the reservoir; and determining a characteristic of the reservoir from the response to the stimulus. The response may be the pressure change which varies periodically over time, or a set of displacements of a surface of the earth. In another example, a method includes the steps of: detecting a set of displacements of the earth's surface corresponding to a pressure change in the reservoir; and determining a characteristic of the reservoir from the surface displacements. In yet another example, a method includes the steps of: detecting a set of displacements of the earth's surface corresponding to a change in volume of the reservoir; and determining a characteristic of the reservoir from the surface displacements.

    摘要: Methods and systems for borehole telemetry are disclosed. In one embodiment, a borehole telemetry system includes a coiled tubing string that is located in the borehole. A receiver is coupled to the coiled tubing string. In one possible implementation, the receiver is located inside the coiled tubing string. A transmitter is also coupled to the coiled tubing string. The transmitter generates signals guided for at least a portion of their path by the entire internal cross-section of the coiled tubing string to the receiver.
