Abstract

A logging-while-drilling optical fiber communication device includes a rotary wireless transceiver module fixed on a protective connector; an active antenna of the rotary transceiver is placed in the first drill pipe by drilling hole through the protective connector; an optical fiber communication drawworks is located at the top of a second drill pipe, the optical fiber is downwardly released into other under-well drill pipes, the bottom of the optical fiber is connected with the well-bottom wireless receiving module; the lowest part of the drill pipe are provided with a drilling data acquisition device and a well-bottom wireless transmitting module. In the present invention, the optical fiber cable is used as transmission medium, by the means of modulating information data obtained by well logging into optical wave, and transmitting to the optical communication link, high-speed bi-directional transmission of well logging information can be realized.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A logging-while-drilling optical fiber communication device, comprising:
a rotary wireless transceiver module; wherein
the rotary wireless transceiver module is fixed on a protective connector;
a drill pipe comprises a first drill pipe, a second drill pipe and a set of third under-well drill pipes;
an active antenna of the rotary wireless transceiver module is put into the first drill pipe by drilling a hole through the protective connector;
an optical fiber communication drawworks is located at a top part of the second drill pipe, an optical fiber is released downwards into the set of third under-well drill pipes, and a lower part of the optical fiber is connected with a well-bottom wireless receiving module;
the optical fiber communication drawworks is placed inside the drill pipe and can move upwards and downwards inside the drill pipe while proceeding the drilling process, and the optical fiber communication drawworks can retract and release the optical fiber;
a lowest part of the third under-well drill pipes is a drilling data acquisition device and a well-bottom wireless transmitting module;
wherein, the drilling data acquisition device is configured to detect under-well data and transmit the under-well data to the well-bottom wireless receiving module through the well-bottom wireless transmitting module;
the well-bottom wireless receiving module transmits the under-well data to the rotary wireless transceiver module through the optical fiber communication drawworks.

2. The logging-while-drilling optical fiber communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary wireless transceiver module is wirelessly connected with an overground wireless transceiver module, and the overground wireless transceiver module is connected to an overground data collection console.

3. The logging-while-drilling optical fiber communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the logging-while-drilling optical fiber communication device is configured to transmit data through a plurality of waves with short-wave wavelength of 650 nm or 850 nm.
