Patent

CA 2475153

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture are provided for a configurable downhole tool (100). The downhole tool (100) includes a plurality of devices (112 1, 112 2, ..., 112n) each of which is configured for one or more functions. At some point during operation (e.g., during system initialization), the presence of each device disposed on the downhole tool is detected. Each device may then begin performing its respective function or functions. For example, some devices (112 1, 112 2, ..., 112n) may be configured to collect environmental data while the tool is disposed in a wellbore. In one embodiment, the collected data is provided to a transceiver. The transceiver (339) then transmits the data from the downhole tool to some remote receiving unit (120), which may be located at the surface of the wellbore.

L'invention concerne des procédés, un appareil et des produits de fabrication destinés à un outil de fond configurable (100). Cet outil de fond (100) comprend une pluralité de dispositifs (112 1, 112 2, , 112 n), chacun étant conçu pour exercer une ou plusieurs fonctions. A un certain moment pendant le fonctionnement (par exemple, pendant l'initialisation du système), la présence de chaque dispositif disposé sur l'outil de fond est détectée. Chaque dispositif peut ensuite commencer à exercer sa ou ses fonctions respectives. Certains dispositifs (112 1, 112 2, , 112 n) peuvent par exemple être conçus pour recueillir des données environnementales pendant que ledit outil est disposé dans un forage. Dans un mode de réalisation, les données recueillies sont envoyées à un émetteur-récepteur. Cet émetteur-récepteur (339) transmet ensuite les données de l'outil de forage à une unité de réception éloignée (120), qui peut être située au niveau de la surface du forage.
