Main remote measurement wire 202 can also comprise filler rod 225 and drain wire 220, drain wire 220 can and wire 210 between the space outerpace place that forms filler rod alternately.
The shielding design is favourable for the application that needs high s/n ratio and low frequency.Alternatively, if need to than low signal-to-noise ratio and upper frequency, then can ignore shielding.
Figure 10 shows the cutaway view of the cable 250 of embodiments of the invention.Usually, cable 250 is similar to cable 200 designs, and same reference numbers represents to be equal to or similar components.Yet different from cable 200 is: cable 250 comprises the optical cable 254 that extends along the center of a main electrical lead 60.Equally, optical cable 265 can extend along the longitudinal axis of cable 250.Further, the Centre panel 220 of the cable 200 in the main remote measurement wire 202 is replaced by the optical fiber 260 among Figure 10.
Figure 11 shows the cutaway view of cable 300, and its design is similar to the cable 24 of Fig. 2, and identical reference marker represents to be equal to or similar components.Yet the main remote measurement wire 80 of cable 24 is replaced by main remote measurement wire 301 in the cable 300.Main remote measurement wire 301 comprises that 310, two remote measurement wires 310 of two remote measurement wires can have the diameter roughly the same with each auxiliary power wire 70.Remote measurement wire 310 is arranged to twisted-pair feeder structure (twisted-pair configuration).Main remote measurement wire 301 can also comprise drain wire (drain wires) or filler rod 312, drain wire (drain wires) or filler rod 312 be arranged on wire 310 outsides and the interstitial space that between wire 310, forms in.

In some embodiments of the invention, insulating power wire, main traverse line and/or pilot wire are the layered dielectric insulated conductors (stacked dielectric insulatedconductors) with electric field suppression characteristic, U.S. Patent No. 6 such as people such as Mydur, 600, employed wire in the cable of describing in 108, so it all is attached to herein.This layered dielectric insulated conductor generally includes the first the second insulation jacket layer that insulate jacket layer and arrange around the first insulation jacket layer that arranges around plain conductor, the first insulation jacket layer is around having the first relative dielectric constant, and the second insulation jacket layer has the second relative dielectric constant less than the first relative dielectric constant.The first relative dielectric constant is preferably in about scope of 2.5~about 10.0, and the second relative dielectric constant is preferably in about scope of 1.8~about 5.0.
As mentioned above, according to embodiments of the invention, cable, for example cable 24,150, and 170,200 and 250 comprise parcel main traverse line 60,80 and at least one armor electric wire (armorwires) layer of pilot wire 70, for example armor electric wire packing 50a or 50b.The armor electric wire can roughly be made by any high tensile strength material, this high tensile strength material comprises the plow steel (galvanized improvedplow steel) of electroplating improvement, the metal stratified mixture of bimetallic form, steel alloy etc., but high tensile strength material is not limited to this.In some embodiments of the invention, cable comprises the inside armor line layer that wraps up wire and the outside armor line layer that centers on inner armor line layer.Protectiveness is polymer coated to can be applicable to per share armor electric wire and is used for anticorrosionly, or even improves the armor electric wire that arranges in the interstitial space and the associativity between the polymeric material.
As used herein, term " in conjunction with (bonding) " refers to comprise chemical bond, mechanical bond or their combination.The example of coating material can comprise: PEP (FEP) polymer, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene polymer (Tefzel
Figure 2008100086331_3
), perfluor alcoxyl alkane polymer (perfluoro-alkoxyalkane polymer, PFA), polytetrafluoroethylene polymer (polytetrafluoroethylene polymer, PTFE), polytetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro-methyl ether polymer (polytetrafluoroethylene-perfluoromethylvinylether polymer, MFA), polyethylene aryl ether ketone (polyaryletherether ketone polymer, PEEK), or has a polyvinyl ethyl ether ketone (polyaryl ether ketone of fluoropolymer, PEK), polyphenylene sulfides (polyphenylene sulfide, PPS), the composition of PPS and PTFE, latex or rubber coating etc.But coating material is not limited to this.
Each armor electric wire, for example armor electric wire packing 50a or 50b also can apply the associativity between anti-rotten material or raising armor electric wire and the polymeric material.The suitable coating material of nonrestrictive example comprises brass, copper alloy etc.Apply the armor electric wire and can comprise the cords (cords) such as cotton tyre cord (tire cords).Although can use coating or the cladding material of any thickness, can use about 10~100 microns thickness as example.
In some cables, for example cable 24,150, and 170,200 and 250, polymeric material 100 polymeric materials such as grade can be arranged in the interstitial space that forms between the interstitial space that forms between the armor electric wire and armor line layer and the insulated conductor.What can believe is, the advantage that polymeric material is set in whole armor electric wire interstitial space or unfilled annular gap is: prevent that dangerous gas well gas from entering and by these spaces or gap and upwards advance towards lower pressure region, it can burn even explosion hazard occur in this lower pressure region.
In the cable of embodiments of the invention, for example cable 24,150,170,200 and 250, the armor electric wire preferably partly or wholly is aggregated sealing such as material 100 polymeric materials such as grade, because these polymeric materials are fully filled all interstitial spaces, therefore eliminate any gas movable passageway.Further; by polymeric material is integrated in the interstitial space, provide the moment of two armor lines of balance layer cable, because outside armor electric wire is locked in place and protected by the polymeric jacket of hard armor; do not need larger diameter at skin, therefore alleviated the equalising torque problem.Therefore, owing to having filled interstitial space, corrosive well fluids downhole can not be permeated into and be assembled between the armor electric wire.Polymeric material also can be used as the filter of many corrosive fluids.By exposing armor electric wire and the gathering that prevents corrosive fluid, can be increased significantly the useful life of cable with minimizing.
When being combined into one, by filling the interstitial space between the armor electric wire with polymeric material and separating inner armor electric wire and outside armor electric wire, can reduce point between a armor electric wire-contact, therefore improved intensity, prolong fatigue life, avoided simultaneously armor electric wire premature corrosion.Because interstitial space is filled, so cable core is by fully containing firmly, and has eliminated wriggling, the result, and cable size is more stable, and the cable extensibility significantly reduces.The anti-wriggling polymeric material that uses in the embodiments of the invention can make the core wriggling minimize both ways: first aspect, lock together by making polymeric material and armor line layer, and greatly reduced distortion of the cable; Second aspect, polymeric material also can be eliminated any annular space that cable core may be wriggled into.
The cable of embodiments of the invention, for example cable 24,150, and 170,200 and 250, can improve the problem that isolation armor designing institute runs into, because wrap the serially combination of polymeric material of armor electric wire, it is not easy to throw off from the armor electric wire.Because said method allows the armor electric wire scope (93-98% metal) that maintains the standard, therefore to compare with typical isolation armor design (caged armor design), application of polymeric materials can not sacrificed cable intensity.
The polymeric material of polymeric material 100 grades of using in the some embodiments of the present invention can be from insulated conductor to armor line layer arranges continuously and contiguously, or even the extensible periphery that exceeds, therefore form the polymerization cover that wraps up the armor electric wire fully.The polymeric material and the armor electric wire coating material that form cover are selected alternatively, thereby so that the armor electric wire is not joined to polymerization cover and not mobile in the polymerization cover.
For example, in some embodiments of the invention, polymeric material 100 polymeric materials such as grade can not have when enough mechanical properties of bearing high-tensile strength or high pressure on the bunch of cables during tension, like this, can further comprise short fiber.Yet available suitable fiber provides the characteristic of enough bearing this power, and the example of this optical fiber comprises carbon fibre, glass fibre, ceramic fibre, Kevlar Fiber, Vectran
Figure 2008100086331_5
Fiber, quartz, millimicro carbon or any material that other is fit to.Further, be higher than significantly the friction that polymeric material is only arranged because comprise the friction of the polymeric material of short fiber, do not have the overcoat of the polymeric material of short fiber can be around the periphery setting of cable, so that the outer surface of cable has low frictional behavior.
