Abstract

See full text

A wireline acoustic probe and associated methods provide enhanced calibration and communication capabilities in a downhole acoustic communication system. In a described embodiment, an acoustic probe is conveyed on a wireline to a position proximate a downhole acoustic transmitter. A command is transmitted acoustically from the probe to the transmitter, causing the transmitter to generate acoustic frequency sweeps. The sweeps are received by the probe proximate a downhole acoustic receiver, permitting an optimum acoustic transmission frequency to be selected.
