Abstract

See full text

An MWD apparatus has a bottomhole assembly for supporting a tool string and an antenna. The tool string has a sensor and an electromagnetic telemetry device. The tool string affixes in a muleshoe and carrier sub of the assembly using a stinger and fastener. An antenna disposes in an emitter sub of the assembly. The antenna is attached to extend from the tool string so the antenna is in electrical communication with the telemetry device. Finally, the portions of the assembly are connected together, and the antenna is affixed in the uphole portion of the assembly using a conductive landing and one or more fasteners. In this way, the tool string and the antenna are held in tension inside the assembly. The MWD apparatus can be used with an air drilling assembly having an air hammer and a motor coupled downhole of the apparatus. Non-magnetic and regular drill collars can couple uphole of the apparatus, along with a jet sub.
