In tubing string, insulating short section can be provided between upper tubing string and lower tubular column.The electromagnetism passage of formation testing is established, it is necessary to shape
Into two emission electrodes, thus, it is necessary to which test string is disconnected after, re-form insulating electrode.
Data transmission device for example can be electromagnetism modulate emission device, then data processing equipment is used to turn downhole data
Change electromagnetic wave signal into, electromagnetism modulate emission device can be used as antenna using tubing string.Electromagnetism modulate emission device uses tubing string conduct
One electromagnetic wave radio communication channel, signal code upload along tubing string, while the peripherad stratum diffusion during upload,
So as to form tubing string-stratum electromagnetism passage.
Fig. 4 shows the schematic diagram of insulating short section in an embodiment.As shown in figure 4, insulating short section 40 divides tubing string up and down
Used outside insulated, so as to form the dipole emission antenna of excitation of electromagnetic wave.Further, can be set between upper tubing string and lower tubular column
Driving voltage VT, the exciting current part come out from positive pole flows up along upper tubing string, because stratum is conductive, the axial current
There to be significant portion to be leaked in stratum during to upstream.And Leakage Current gathers down under the attraction of negative electrode
On the negative pole of tubing string.
Electromagnetism distribution on tubing string is relevant with formation resistivity and formation thickness, it is assumed that formation resistivity is respectively:ρ 1, ρ
2, ρ 3 ... ρ i ... ρ n, formation thickness are respectively:Z (1), z (2), z (3) ... z (i) ... z (n).
Then the CURRENT DISTRIBUTION on tubing string is:
Wherein,I (z) is signal code in the intensity of z points, I0For signal code at source point most
Significantly, δ is the skin coefficient that becomes on stratum, and f is signal code frequency, and μ is stratum magnetic conductivity, and ρ is formation resistivity.
