Abstract
A system for use in a wellbore can include a first transceiver that is operable to transmit a wireless signal. The first transceiver can be positioned in an electrically isolated chamber between a tubular and a casing string for confining a transmission of the wireless signal to within the electrically isolated chamber. The system can also include a second transceiver that is positionable in the electrically isolated chamber for receiving the wireless signal from the first transceiver.
Claims20
A system for use in a wellbore, the system comprising:
- a first transceiver that is operable to transmit a wireless signal and is positioned in an electrically isolated chamber between a tubular and a casing string for confining a transmission of the wireless signal to within the electrically isolated chamber;
- and
- a second transceiver that is positionable in the electrically isolated chamber for receiving the wireless signal from the first transceiver.
A system comprising:
- an electrically isolated chamber that is between a tubular and a casing string in a wellbore for confining a transmission of a wireless signal to within the electrically isolated chamber;
- and
- a first transceiver that is positioned in the electrically isolated chamber for transmitting the wireless signal.
A system for use in a wellbore, the system comprising:
- a first transceiver that is positionable in a first electrically isolated chamber between a tubular and a casing string, the first electrically isolated chamber operable to confine a transmission of a wireless signal from the first transceiver to within the first electrically isolated chamber;
- and
- a second transceiver that is positionable in a second electrically isolated chamber between the tubular and the casing string, the second electrically isolated chamber operable to confine another transmission of another wireless signal from the second transceiver to within the second electrically isolated chamber, the second electrically isolated chamber separate from the first electrically isolated chamber.
