Abstract

1,169,407. Radar. CHEVRON RESEARCH CO. 12 May, 1967 [14 Nov., 1966], No. 22242/67. Addition to 1,111,629. Heading H4D. In a method of guiding the drilling of a well bore to penetrate oil reservoirs, a radar operating in the band 1 Mc/s. to 10<SP>5</SP> Mc/s. is utilized in the well bore. The disclosure is somewhat similar to that in the parent Specification but includes some details of the circuitry of the F.M. radar, Fig. 4 (not shown).
