Abstract

A communication system for use in a wellbore, a down-hole tool, and a method includes a transmitter coupled to a wireline, and a receiver located remotely from the transmitter. The wireline is capable of acting as an antenna for the transmitter. The wireline is a slickline, and the transmitter may be associated with, provided on, or an integral part of a downhole tool or tool string. The transmitter typically transmits data col-lected or generated by the downhole tool or the like to the receiver, which is preferably located at, or near, the surface of the wellbore. The wireline is typically provided with an insulating coating. Also, a distance measure-ment apparatus and a method for measuring the distance travelled by a wire-line includes at least one sensor coupled to the wireline, and the sensor is capable of sensing known locations in a wellbore.
