Abstract

See full text

A method for obtaining real-time data relating to a well construction activity includes locating wellbore-lining tubing comprising at least one non-magnetic tubing section in a wellbore of a well. At least one downhole parameter is measured at a location external of the wellbore-lining tubing using at least one sensor associated with the non-magnetic tubing section. A magnetic field generating device is positioned within the non-magnetic tubing section and the device is activated to inductively couple the device to the at least one sensor. Data relating to the at least measured parameter is then transmitted through the non-magnetic tubing section to the magnetic field generating device by means of the inductive coupling. The data retrieved from the at least one sensor may then be transmitted to surface using a fluid pressure pulse generating device associated with the magnetic field generating device.
