ELECTROMAGNETIC TELEMETRY GAP SUB - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18422623 titled 'ELECTROMAGNETIC TELEMETRY GAP SUB
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a downhole tool and method of assembly involving a sleeve, a gap sub with nonconductive material, and a lock nut to electrically separate different subs of the tool.
- A sleeve moves along a first sub to surround an inner mandrel.
- A gap sub is placed around an extended section of the inner mandrel, made of nonconductive material.
- The gap sub electrically separates the first sub from a second sub.
- A lock nut secures the gap sub against the sleeve.
Key Features and Innovation
- Use of a gap sub with nonconductive material to electrically separate subs of a downhole tool.
- Lock nut for securing the gap sub in place.
- Assembly method involving moving the sleeve and gap sub along the longitudinal axis.

Original Abstract Submitted
A downhole tool and method of assembly. A sleeve is moved along a longitudinal axis of a first sub to radially surround an inner mandrel of the first sub that extends along the longitudinal axis. A gap sub is moved along the longitudinal axis to be disposed around an extended section of the inner mandrel, wherein the gap sub includes nonconductive material. The gap sub is configured to electrically separate the first sub from a second sub of the downhole tool. A lock nut is fixedly connected to the inner mandrel to secure the gap sub against the sleeve.
