Pressure-wave generator for data transmission, particularly in drill hole, has electric pressure-wave generator for electrical generation of pressure wave free from flow cross-sectional change of drilling assembly

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a pressure-wave generator designed for data transmission in drill holes. It uses an electric and/or acoustic system to generate pressure waves without altering the internal flow path of the drilling assembly, allowing data transmission without affecting drilling operations. A pulse controller adjusts the pressure wave's amplitude or frequency for optimal data transmission.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Real-time data transmission from downhole sensors during drilling operations in oil, gas, or mineral exploration.
• Remote control and monitoring of drilling parameters in difficult-to-access or deep wells.
• Integration into smart drilling equipment for enhanced automation and feedback.
• Use in mining or geotechnical drilling where uninterrupted fluid flow and data exchange are needed.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enables reliable and efficient data communication without impacting drilling fluid flow.
• Reduces risk of equipment malfunction caused by physical flow restrictions.
• Supports smart drilling technologies requiring continuous and high-fidelity data transmission.
• Facilitates better control and safety for drilling operations by providing real-time information.

Patent Abstract

The pressure-wave generator (200) has an electric pressure-wave generator (202) for electrical generation of a pressure wave free from a flow cross-sectional change of a drilling assembly. An acoustic pressure-wave generator (204) is provided for acoustic generation of a pressure wave free from a flow cross-sectional change of the drilling assembly. A pulse controller (206) is provided to control one of a pulse amplitude of the pressure wave and the pulse frequency of the pressure wave. An independent claim is included for a method for controlling a pressure-wave generator for data transmission.
