Patent ID: 10180044

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a downhole wireless transfer system (1) for transferring signals and/or power, comprising a production casing (2) arranged in a borehole (3), defining an annulus (4) therebetween, the production casing having an inner face (5) and an outer face (6), a downhole tool (7) comprising a first ultrasonic transceiver (8), a second ultrasonic transceiver (9) connected to the outer face of the production casing, wherein the tool comprises a projectable means (10) configured to bring the first ultrasonic transceiver in contact with the inner face of the production casing, so that signals and/or power can be transferred through the production casing via ultrasonic waves between the first and second ultrasonic transceivers. The present invention also relates to a method for wirelessly transferring signals and/or power in a downhole wireless transfer system according to the present invention.
