  • Patent number: 10352157
    Abstract: A method for automatically selecting a frequency band for transmission of a telemetry signal includes transforming acquired measurements from a time domain to a frequency domain to obtain a spectrum of measurements. The spectrum of measurements is processed to compute a total energy in band and a standard deviation of the power spectral density in band for a plurality of frequency bands. A ratio of the total energy in band to the standard deviation acquiring a plurality of measurements of transmitted telemetry signals and of the power spectral density in band is computed for at least two of the plurality of frequency bands. The frequency band having the highest computed ratio is selected and automatically downlinked to a downhole transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10082942
    Abstract: A technique facilitates diagnosis of a telemetry system, such as a mud pulse telemetry system or an electro-magnetic telemetry system. The technique comprises operating a telemetry system in a wellbore and collecting a variety of data. The data may relate to a rig state, a downhole state, a signal state, a surface state, and/or other suitable types of data. The data is processed to determine whether states of operation indicated by the data match states indicating a problem with operation of the telemetry system. If a problem is detected, appropriate information regarding the problem is transmitted for use in correcting the problem.

  • Patent number: 8408330
    Abstract: Systems and methods cancel or compensate for an echo or noise in borehole communication. The systems and methods provide a downhole tool configured to provide borehole communication via mud pulse telemetry. The downhole tool pulses drilling fluid to generate a first pressure pulse and a second pressure pulse. The first pressure pulse moves upwardly with respect to the downhole component and is encoded with data associated a downhole measurement. A sensor is electrically connected to and in communication with the downhole tool. The first sensor is adapted to detect a characteristic of the second pressure pulse in the drilling mud. A ideal pressure pulse or a correction pressure pulse is generated by a downhole tool or a mud pulse modulator to reduce or cancel noise of the second pressure pulse.
