Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods for removing the effects of directional drilling systems drilling fluid pulses to allow a MWD mud pulse telemetry system to operate without interference. The methodology is based upon Synchronous Time Averaging (STA). With STA, any pressure fluctuation that is cyclical (or synchronous) with a measurable event can be profiled and subsequently subtracted from a mud pulse telemetry signal. STA functions by placing a strobe in such a manner that the strobe is triggered for each cyclical event. The cyclical event in this disclosure is one (or more) revolution(s) of the drill string. If there is a pressure fluctuation that correlates to that cyclical event, it will be identified by a stable profile of that pressure fluctuation. This pressure profile is then used to remove the cyclical pressure fluctuation from the input mud pulse telemetry signal thereby allowing normal operation of the mud pulse telemetry system.
