Abstract

A communications system for deployment within a subsurface hydrocarbon production system, the communications system comprising at least a section of production pipeline having an external pipe unit, and an internal pipe unit located within and coaxial with the exterior pipe unit creating a void therebetween operable to receive fluid, a first communication unit disposed at a first location on the internal pipe, operable to transmit an electromagnetic data signal, and a second communication unit located at a second location, remote to the first location, on the internal pipe, operable to receive an electromagnetic data signal transmitted by the first communication system through the fluid, internal pipe and external pipe.
