Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for downhole telemetry is provided herein. The system employs a series of communications nodes spaced along a tubular body in a wellbore. Each communications node is associated with a sensor that senses data indicative of a formation condition or a wellbore parameter along a subsurface formation. The data is stored in memory until a logging tool is run into the wellbore. The data is transmitted from the respective communications nodes to a receiver in the logging tool. The data is then transferred to the surface. A method of transmitting data in a wellbore is also provided herein. The method uses a logging tool to harvest data in a wellbore from a plurality of sensor communications nodes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of transmitting data along a wellbore up to a surface, comprising: placing one or more downhole sensors along the wellbore proximate a depth of a subsurface formation, the downhole sensors engaged with a tubular positioned within the wellbore, the tubular extending between the surface and the subsurface formation; generating signals at the downhole sensors that are indicative of one or more subsurface conditions; providing one or more sensor com…
