METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF DOWNHOLE TOOL WITH REMOTE TRANSMITTERS AND SENSORS

摘要

The present disclosure includes an apparatus and method for operating a downhole tool in a borehole. The apparatus may include a downhole tool that may include at least one second clock, which may be synchronized to a first clock by way of a modulator/demodulator device. The downhole tool may be configured to estimate a parameter of interest of an underground feature. The underground feature may relate to one or more of: a borehole, a casing, or an earth formation. The downhole tool may comprise two or more sections that are configured to operate synchronously when the one or more second clocks are synchronized with the first clock. The modulator/demodulator may include a modem associated with the first clock, a modem associated with the at least one second clock, and a low frequency conductor between the two modems. The method includes using the apparatus.
