Abstract
An armoured optical fibre cable is formed with a core construction comprising three glass clad optical fibres 51 twisted into a long pitch helix, a sort plastic buffer coat 52 around the fibres 51, and a hard jacket 53 of low diffusivity encasing the buffer coat 52. The sort buffer coat can be formed from silicone rubber and the hard jacket can be formed from a metal tube or a glass filled epoxy polymer. In the latter case, the epoxy polymer jacket is preferably surrounded by a corrosion resistant layer 54 e.g. of a fluorinated hydrocarbon. <IMAGE>

SPECIFICATION
Armoured optical fibre cable for use in an optical communication system for drill hole logging This invention relates to drill hole logging equipment, whereby data are transmitted from a downhole instrumentt probe to the surface at a high rate.
The fastest bit rate transmittable through electromechanical cables from the deepest oil wells (10,000 metres) is a few tens of kilohertz. In contrast, the ever more sophisticated multiple- sensor probes under development have created a need for higher transmission rates. The well10 known broad band characteristics of optical fibres, together with the long lengths transmissable without repeaters, make this possible. The fibre, of course, must be incorporated into an armoured cable without adding significant light loss due to perturbations of the fibre (microbends").
The problem of implementing an optical fibre transmission system arises from the very hostile 15 environment encountered in deep drill holes. They are filled with corrosive brine, often with dissolved hydrogen suffide. The pressure in drilling mud may be as high as 30,000 PSI (2070 bar). The temperature may be as high as 25WC. Other limitations are that electrical power and space are at a premium in the downhole probe. It must be convenient to connect and disconnect the cable and probe. Finally, the probes are often lost downhole. Thus the transmitter cannot be inordinately expensive.
No component of the conventional optical transmission systems can function satisfactorily in the downhole environment without cooling. Semiconductor lasers and LEDs (light emitting diodes) do not operate above 1 OWC. High pressure connectors which provide a make/break optical pathway from cable-head to probe do not exist. Ail plastics lose their integrity in the extreme downhole environment. Even fluorinated compounds, which are chemically inert, tend to flow under stress. An additional problem is that water penetrates plastics and promotes stress corrosion of the glass fibre.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided an armoured optical fibre cable for use in an optical communication system for drill hole logging, characterised in that the cable has 30 a core comprising at least three clad optical fibres twisted into a long pitch helix, a soft plastic buffer coat about and between the clad fibres, and a hard jacket of low diffusivity about the clad fibres and the soft plastic buffer coat.
An optical communication system for drill hole logging in which the armoured optical fibre cable of the invention can be used is described in out copending Application No. 8219942 35 (Serial No. 2104752).
For a better understanding of the invention and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawing, which is a cross-section of an armoured optical fibre cable designed in accordance with the invention.
The drawing depicts the cross-section of a cable designed in accordance with the invention. In 40 this embodiment, three glass clad fibres 51, are encased in a jacket 53, which has the following essential properties:
A. It must be hard and stiff to protect the fibres against bending during the subsequent cabling manufacture operations, such as the laying on of the outer armour 58d. This is essential since---microbending- allows light to leak out of the fibre-cladding-that is the attenuation is increased thereby. Any bubbles or voids in the first soft plastic -buffer- coat 52, around the fibres 51, will be compressed and thereby induce microbends, unless the jacket is sufficiently incompressible that the ambient pressure is not transmitted.
B. The jacket 53 must be pinhole free and resist diffusion of the ambient liquid. This is not only to keep down the pressure, but to protect the fibre and its plastic buffer against chemical 50 attack. The microcracks in the surface of a glass clad fibre under tension will propagate in the presence of moisture and cause the fibre to break.
The three fibres are dip-coated with silicone rubber elastomer 52 to form a symmetric buffered core. Additional buffering may be provided by an additional plastic sheath. During this coating process the fibres are twisted into a helix of long pitch g. 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) long. Besides easing the bending of the core, this helix has the additional advantage that, as the completed cable undergoes a tensile strain, the fibres will tend to straighten out, compressing the elastomer, and the core will lengthen, without the glass fibres themselves undergoing as great a strain as the overall cable. This reduces the chance of breakage.
The buffered core 52 is encased in a hard jacket capable of withstanding the pressure, and of 60 low diffusivity to protect the inner components from attack by the brine. The jacket may comprise more than one layer. For example, a layer 53 may be hard and crush resistant, while a second layer 54 is of low diffusivity and resistent to corrosive attack. Thus, the two layers, 53 and 54, in combination provide the required jacket qualities. Illustratively, layer 53 may be a high temperature epoxy polymer filled with longitudinal glass fibre strands. This jacket material, 65 2 GB 2 152 235A 2 applied by the well-known---pultrusiontechnique, has been found to add very little to the light loss in the fibres due to microbends, even at high pressure or tension. As the liquid epoxy is cured or polymerized, it conforms precisely to the buffered fibres without causing microbends.
Also, if it is cured thermally, it contracts and compresses the fibre longitudinally. This tends to counter the effect of a tensile strain and thermal expansion in the cable armour. Layer 54 may 5 be a fluorinated hydrocarbon compound, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene, e.g. one of Dupont's Teflons. The word---Teflon-is a registered Trade Mark. These plastics are chemically inert and of low diffusivity. Alternatively, and preferably for highest temperature operation, the jacket layer, 53, may be a metal tube, impervious to water. For example, a welded nickel-steel alloy tube with 0.095" (2.41 mm) O.D. and 0.0083" (0.21 mm) wall thickness has been tested to 10 15,000 PSI (1034 bar) without being crushed.
In order to provide power downhole, the fibre protecting jacket, 53 and 54, is surrounded by an annular ring of conductors 55, divided into groups insulated from each other by spacers 56.
Alternatively, the bundles of wires can each have their own insulation. The conductors in turn are covered by an extruded insulating plastic layer 57d, which again is preferably a fluorinated 15 n,,,--lrocarbon compound to resist chemical attack at high pressure and temperature. In an a Iternative design, the layer 57d can be constructed like the jacket, 53 and 54. That is, both the fibers 51 and the conductors 55 can be contained within the hard, pressure resistant and low-diffusivity jacket.
The layer 57d, besides being a brine barrier, also serves as bedding for the double-layer, 20 counterhelical, torque-balanced armour 58d. This armour must be on the outside of any working drill hole logging cable to resist the abrasion resulting from raising and lowering the instrument probe.
Without in any way affecting the generality of the foregoing description, Table 1 below presents the dimensions of the various elements of the armoured optical fibre cable made for 25 drill hole logging data transmission, which is depicted in the drawing.
