Logging cable

摘要

A cable that includes a first optical fiber in a center, a first layer with a plurality of metal wires and a stainless steel tube surrounding the first optical fiber, a second optical fiber inside the stainless steel tube, and a second layer with a plurality of metal wires surrounding the first layer, wherein the first optical fiber is directly exposed to the outside environment.

主权项

1. A cable comprising:
a first layer comprising a first plurality of metal wires, each of the first plurality of the metal wires of the first layer having the same diameter and each of the first plurality of metal wires being in contact with adjacent metal wires in the first plurality of metal wires; a second layer comprising a second plurality of metal wires surrounding said first layer; a stainless steel tube in a first interstitial space between said first and second layers; a protected first optical fiber provided in said stainless steel tube and configured to measure temperature; an unprotected second optical fiber provided within the second layer, configured to measure pressure and comprising:
a PFA coating;a silicone coating in said PFA coating; anda core and cladding provided in the silicone coating; and a metal wire provided in a second interstitial space between said first and second layers, the metal wire having a fully solid metal cross-sectional profile; wherein the stainless steel tube has a diameter smaller than the diameter of each of the first and second plurality of metal wires in said first layer and said second layer, and wherein the second optical fiber is exposed to external pressure applied to the cable.
