  • High speed data communication protocol for use with EM data telemetry antennae
    Patent number: 7088260
    Abstract: A communication method for retrieving stored data from an MWD tool, through an antenna used for conventional EM data telemetry. The method comprises establishing electrical contact between a surface transceiver and an EM data telemetry antenna upon retrieval to the surface. The MWD tool then transfers data through the antenna, the data being received by the surface transceiver. Also provided is an electrical isolation connector subassembly comprising an electrically insulative coating to electrically isolate the splitsub components, thereby forming the antenna for data transfer and EM data telemetry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2006
    Assignee: Ryan Energy Technologies

  • Apparatus, system, and method for detecting and reimpressing electrical charge disturbances on a drill-pipe
    Patent number: 6970099
    Abstract: A signal repeater, a system utilizing one or more signal repeaters, and a method for detecting a transient disturbance in the surface charge on drill pipe, which system, apparatus and method are collectively used to transfer data from deep-well and high-conductivity formation subterranean environments to a point nearer to the surface. The signal repeater comprises a housing that is securably mountable to the interior of a pipe-string disposed in a wellbore, which repeater receives and stores electrical signals for resending at an appropriate time.
