Downhole cathodic protection cable system

摘要

A downhole cathodic protection cable system includes an attachment shoe electrically connected to a metallic structure at a distance substantially below the earth's surface, and an electrical cable having a first end connected to a connection structure substantially at the earth's surface and a second end electrically connected to the attachment shoe. The first end is connected through the connection structure to provide current to the cable sufficient to prevent substantial corrosion surrounding the attachment shoe.
