Abstract

Apparatus and method for generating pressurised fluid pulses. The apparatus comprises a pump (113) configured to output fluid from a fluid source (117), and a storage system (105) having at least one fluid reservoir for receiving and storing fluid from the pump. A connector (104) couples the fluid reservoir (105) to a fluid conduit (102), and a valve system (107) disposed between the fluid reservoir (105) and the connector (104). The valve system (107) comprises a controllable valve (121), and the storage system (105) is operable to maintain a fluid volume at a positive pressure differential over a pressure in the fluid conduit. The apparatus is configured to open and close the controllable valve (121) in order to transmit at least one pressurised fluid pulse from the storage system to the fluid conduit.
