Patent number: 10976185Abstract: Sensor array noise reduction is provided. Techniques involve systems and methods for reducing sensor array noise by estimating an instantaneous frequency of a coherent noise signal in a logging system. The instantaneous frequency may be estimated based on a rotation of an electric motor in the logging system, or may estimated by applying suitable signal processing algorithms on measurements in the logging system. A virtual measurement may be computed using the instantaneous frequency. The virtual measurement may be demodulated to obtain a baseband signal, and noise may be removed from the baseband signal to obtain a denoised signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Arnaud Jarrot, Julius Kusuma

Patent number: 10708869Abstract: An acoustic network is located in a formation traversed by a borehole having a pipe contained therein. The acoustic network includes a backbone network having a number of backbone modems engaging the pipe and acoustically communicating along the pipe using a first modulation technique. A number of end node modems acoustically communicate using a second modulation technique orthogonal to the first modulation technique. At least one of the backbone modems is a bridge hub modem that is coupled to both the backbone network and an end node modem and communicates with the backbone network using the first modulation technique and with the end node modem using the second modulation technique. The end node modems may have a hibernation mode defined by low energy usage with no transmission or receipt of data, and a transmission mode defined by transmission of data by the end node modem.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Arnaud Croux, Julius Kusuma, Stephane Vannuffelen

Publication number: 20200141229Abstract: A network management technique for an acoustic communication system made up of a network of communication nodes is disclosed. Various of the nodes that are located intermediate a source node and a receiving node can detect communication failures in the network and then take action to efficiently recover from the failure, rather than acting only as repeaters. By allowing intermediate nodes to participate in recovery decisions, the speed and the quantity of real-time information transmission in the network can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2018Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Arnaud Croux, Julius Kusuma
