Abstract
Apparatus and methods for transmitting an electrical signal in a wellbore. A tool comprising a wire mesh is introduced into a wellbore. The wire mesh is disposed along at least a portion of the axial length of the tool. An electrical signal is transmitted along the wire mesh to or from a wellbore device disposed in the wellbore.
Claims20
An apparatus for transmitting an electrical signal in a wellbore, the apparatus comprises:
- a tool comprising a wire mesh;
- wherein the wire mesh is a weave comprising conductive wires;
- wherein the wire mesh is disposed along at least a portion of an axial length of the tool;
- wherein the wire mesh comprises a conductor configured to transmit an electrical signal along the portion of the length of the tool;
- wherein the wire mesh is configured to transmit the electrical signal to a wellbore device disposed in the wellbore.
A method for transmitting an electrical signal during a completion operation, the method comprises:
- introducing a tool comprising a wire mesh into a wellbore;
- wherein the wire mesh is a weave comprising conductive wires;
- wherein the wire mesh is disposed along at least a portion of an axial length of the tool;
- and
- transmitting an electrical signal along the wire mesh to or from a wellbore device disposed in the wellbore.
A system for transmitting an electrical signal in a wellbore, the system comprises:
- a tool comprising a wire mesh;
- wherein the wire mesh is a weave comprising conductive wires;
- wherein the wire mesh is disposed along at least a portion of an axial length of the tool;
- wherein the wire mesh comprises a conductor configured to transmit an electrical signal along the portion of the length of the tool;
- a wellbore device disposed in the wellbore and configured to receive or transmit the electrical signal transmitted along the wire mesh.
