Abstract
Embodiments of conductive polymers and instruments using the conductive polymers in geophysical exploration are provided. Methods for fabrication are included.
Claims18
An instrument for performing measurements downhole, the instrument comprising an inherently conductive polymer (ICP) selected for withstanding conditions downhole.
A method for fabricating an instrument for use downhole, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one inherently conductive polymer (ICP) material for withstanding an environment downhole;
- fabricating at least a component from the ICP material;
- and
- including the component in the instrument.
1 more element
An instrument for performing measurements downhole, the instrument comprising:
- at least one component comprising an inherently conductive polymer (ICP) material, the component adapted for at least one of conducting and dissipating an electrical signal associated with the performing while withstanding ambient conditions downhole.
