Abstract: A petroleum well having a wireless power and data communication system is provided. The well uses the tubing and/or casing to communicate with and power a plurality of devices, such as sensors and controllable valves. An electrically isolating portion of a tubing hanger at the surface of the well and a ferromagnetic choke downhole may electrically isolate the tubing from the casing and provide a communications path. A plurality of modems positioned downhole along the tubing string communicate sensor information to a modem and a computer located at the surface of the well. Based on an analysis of the sensor information received by the computer, instructions can be communicated along the tubing string to the controllable valves to adjust the flow rate of lift gas passing through the valves.

Un certain nombre d'intercalaires (9) viennent se placer sur un support de dispositif de tenue (10) et sont maintenus par ce dispositif (8) de manière à pouvoir être introduits dans le support du dispositif de tenue (10) ou en être retirés. Chaque dispositif de tenue (8) est formé par la mise en place en double de pièces d'insertion d'intercalaire (45 et 46). Un réflecteur (4) se divise en une partie antérieure (4a) et une partie postérieure (4b), un intervalle (4c) existant entre ces deux parties (4a, 4b). De ce fait, lorsque l'on effectue un réglage de la focale et du zoom, il est facile de procéder au réglage fin de la position de la lentille (5b) ainsi qu'à l'immobilisation de celle-ci. Un dispositif de tenue peut maintenir en place deux types d'intercalaires (9-1 et 9-2) de tailles différentes avec une fréquence d'utilisation élevée (zone de desserte). Les fissurations survenant au niveau du métal formant la base et la séparation du matériau de revêtement du réflecteur peuvent être évitées par suppression au minimum de l'effet thermique de l'ampoule (3) sur ce réflecteur (4) et ce, sans dégrader les caractéristiques optiques.
