Method And Apparatus For Communicating Data In A Wellbore And For Detecting The Influx Of Gas
US Patent:
5850369, Dec 15, 1998
Filed:
Jan 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/779300
Inventors:
Louis H. Rorden - Los Altos CA
Ashok Patel - San Jose CA
James V. Leggett - Houston TX
Frank Lindsay Gibbons - Houston TX
Steven C. Owens - Katy TX
Ashok Patel - San Jose CA
James V. Leggett - Houston TX

Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01V 140
US Classification:
367 83
Abstract:
A transducer is described especially for use in providing acoustic transmission in a borehole. The transducer includes a multiple number of magnetic circuit gaps and electrical windings that have been found to provide the power necessary for acoustic operation in a borehole while still meeting the stringent dimensional criteria necessitated by boreholes. Various embodiments conforming to the design are described. Moreover, the invention includes transition and reflector sections, as well as a directional coupler and resonator arrangement particularly adapted for borehole acoustic communication.
An acoustic communication system is described especially designed for use in providing acoustic transmission of information in a borehole. The communication system comprises a surface transceiver and at least one downhole transceiver. The surface transceiver operates in conjunction with a host computer that sends commands to the downhole transceiver.
