Abstract:
A retrievable downhole wedging system is disclosed for firmly securing accelerometers and other instruments to the bottom of a cased bore hole. The system includes a pair of arcuate top wedges and a pair of arcuate bottom wedges for insertion between the accelerometers and the casing. The bottom wedges are slideably coupled to the accelerometer such that they will not become separated from the accelerometer during retrieval. A retrieving means is provided for disengaging the accelerometer by first individually removing the top wedges and then pulling the accelerometer free of the bottom wedges.
