  • Acoustic telemetry tool for high mechanical loading
    Patent number: 12084965
    Abstract: An acoustic telemetry tool can include string connectors at respective opposite ends of the acoustic telemetry tool, a tubular outer housing extending longitudinally between the connectors, an inner mandrel extending longitudinally between the connectors, an annular chamber formed radially between the outer housing and the inner mandrel, and an acoustic telemetry assembly positioned in the annular chamber. In one acoustic telemetry tool, the outer housing is configured to transmit mechanical loads between the connectors, but the inner mandrel is configured to not transmit mechanical loads between the connectors. In another acoustic telemetry tool, the outer housing and the inner mandrel are configured to transmit mechanical loads between the connectors. In another tool, there may be multiple sets of outer housings, inner mandrels and acoustic telemetry assemblies.
