Abstract

An apparatus (12) for generating a fluid pressure pulse downhole is disclosed which comprises an elongate, generally tubular housing (28) defining an internal fluid flow passage (30) and having a housing wall (32). The apparatus also comprises a device (34) for selectively generating a fluid pressure pulse, the device comprising a cartridge which can be releasably mounted entirely within a space (36) provided in the wall of the tubular housing. The internal fluid flow passage defined by the tubular housing is a primary fluid flow passage, and the apparatus comprises a secondary fluid flow passage (72) having an inlet (74) which communicates with the primary fluid flow passage. The cartridge houses a valve comprising a valve element (46) and a valve seat (48), the valve being actuable to control fluid flow through the secondary fluid flow passage to selectively generate a fluid pressure pulse. Data relating to a measured downhole parameter or parameters can be transmitted to surface via the pressure pulses.
