Parameter telemetering from the bottom of a deep borehole
This patent describes an apparatus for pumping a liquid from a borehole in the earth, including at least a string of tubing from the surface to a selected depth in the borehole, electric motor means and pump means supported at the bottom end of the tubing, three phase alternating current electrical power supply means at the surface, and a multiple conductor cable, the cable connected to the power supply means at the surface end, and to the motor means at the bottom end of the cable; apparatus for use in combination with the multiple conductor cable to measure, in the borehole, at least one well parameter indicative of a condition contiguous to the motor and pump means and transmitting to the surface a signal representative of the at least one well parameter, comprising: (a) means at the surface for generating an intermediate frequency signal independent of the three phase alternating current electrical power supply means; (b) electrical coupling means at the surface for connecting the intermediate frequency signal to a circuit comprised of one conductor in the multiple conductor cable and a ground conductor means which is independent of the alternating current electrical power supply means; (c) downhole instrument package means positioned in the borehole and connected to the circuit.
