Abstract

See full text

A three phase power cable is employed to transmit data encoded in a phase-to-phase manner within a high frequency carrier signal transmitted simultaneously with power transmitted from surface equipment to downhole components. The high frequency carrier signal is transmitted on all conductors of the power cable, with the signal carried on at least two phases or conductors modulated between the two conductors to encode data between the two phases. Any modulation technique may be employed. Multiple phase-to-phase signals may be encoded and transmitted between different pairs of the power cable conductors, or the same data may be encoded and transmitted in multiple phase-to-phase signals in either a single-ended or differential manner. The high frequency carrier may be employed to transmit data from sensors downhole to the surface equipment, control signals from the surface equipment to the downhole components, or both.
