Abstract

The article examines a possible option of organizing an acoustic transfer channel of metrological data, wherein tubing of oil production wells is used as the medium of oscillations propagation. The relevance of organizing this connection channel for the optimization of the oil production process is emphasized. The choice of tubing as a medium of oscillations propagation is substantiated. We give an overview of scientific literature that examines fundamental physical propagation bases of elastic oscillation in solid and liquid media. The peculiarities of longitudinal wave propagation in a pipe filled with a water-oil emulsion are examined. We obtained analytical dependencies and computed the levels of oscillations damping for a number of frequencies. The possibility of data transfer in the range of frequencies up to 20 kHz at a distance of 3 km is substantiated. We gave a general preliminary characteristic of the considered communication channel.
