摘要： A down-hole tool provided with a transmitter system for inducing a transient electromagnetic field in an earth formation has an induction coil with a number of windings to generate essentially a magnetic dipole field. The number of windings is divided into two or more groups of windings arranged to cooperatively generate the essentially magnetic dipole field when energized. Switching means are arranged to essentially simultaneously terminate the energizing of the groups of windings. The groups of windings are electrically isolated from each other or connected in parallel to each other, at least when the energizing is terminated. A transient electromagnetic field may thus be induced in an earth formation by essentially simultaneously terminating energizing each group of windings by operating the switching means. A transient electromagnetic response signal may be recorded, and used in a method of producing a mineral hydrocarbon fluid.

摘要： A transmitter system for inducing a transient electromagnetic field in an earth formation comprises an inductive element to generate an electromagnetic field in response to a flow of electric current through the inductive element. Furthermore, switching means arranged to interrupt the flow of electric current through the inductive element, which switching means comprises a primary switch and an auxiliary switch arranged in series connection with each other. The auxiliary switch has a lower breakdown voltage than the primary switch. This induces a transient electromagnetic field in the earth formation. Delay circuitry may impose a time delay between switching of the auxiliary switch relative to switching of the primary switch. A transient electromagnetic response signal may be recorded, and used in a method of producing a mineral hydrocarbon fluid.

摘要： A distributed acoustic sensor, comprises a housing having a longitudinal bore therethrough, an optical fiber supported in the bore; and an inertial member supported within the bore, wherein the fiber is mechanically coupled to the inertial member. The inertial member may include a weight and may provides isotropic stiffness such that it deforms more readily in a first direction normal to the bore than it does in a second direction that is normal to both the bore and the first direction. The sensor may include a plurality of axially-spaced centralizers in the bore, and at least one of the inertial member and the centralizers may comprise swellable material.
