Abstract (en)

[origin: US4698794A] In a device for the transmission of information from a borehole to the surface during the operation of a drilling device which comprises a rotary drill bit, a tubular housing and a pump which delivers a drilling fluid downwards through the tubular housing, through the rotary drill bit and upwards in the annular space between the tubular housing and the borehole, there is provided a detector arranged in the tubular housing, for detecting information, a processor for converting that information into a sequence of electrical control signals and a transducer for generating pressure pulses in the downwardly-directed flow of drilling fluid as a function of the control signals, and a remote detector arranged at a position spaced from the processor by a wire-less transmission path with a transmitter unit associated with the remote detector at one end of said path and a receiver unit at the other end of said path.
