Abstract

Apparatus for downhole transmission and reception of data in an oil or gas well comprises a downhole signal transceiver adapted to receive data from a signal generator and transmit the signal through the well and an elongate member with an axis, located in the wellbore; wherein the signal is transmitted by the transceiver, predominantly axially along the elongate member.
