INSULATIVE COATING PROCESSES FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC TELEMETRY MANDRELS

摘要

Disclosed is a process for applying an insulative coating to a mandrel used in an electromagnetic telemetry antenna assembly. One process includes applying a bond coat to at least a portion of an outer radial surface of a mandrel; applying an electrical isolation layer to the bond coat; applying a first sealant layer to the electrical isolation layer; and heat treating the mandrel in an oven.
