Abstract:Downhole data transfer has been limited by slow downhole communication bandwidths for decades. The current data-transferring technologies have reached bottlenecks for acquiring logging data and ever-demanding high-frequency drilling dynamics measurements. There is an urgent need to significantly improve the downhole data communication speed for drilling optimization, real-time geosteering, and reservoir description. Current downhole communication systems with data rates between 20bit/s – 60kbit/s are not suffi… Show more
