A transmitter for use in downhole telemetry and/or control is provided. The transmitter includes a mixer; modulator; and signal generation apparatus configured to generate a frequency modulated signal. The mixer is configured to generate an output signal based on the frequency modulated signal. A frequency spectrum of the output signal includes upper and lower sidebands disposed about a suppressed or reduced frequency of the frequency modulated signal. The modulator is operable to modulate an input signal onto the output signal. A telemetry system and associated methods are also provided.

Downhole transmitter, systems and methods

A downhole electrical power generation device is provided that includes at least one magnetic element, an electrically conductive element, and a member configured to be positioned within downhole fluid and to vibrate when the downhole fluid flows across a surface of the member. One of the magnetic element and the electrically conductive element is positioned on the member, and the other is configured to be positioned such that the electrically conductive element is located in a magnetic field produced by the at least one magnetic element to generate electrical power on vibration of the member. A method of generating electrical power downhole is further provided.

Downhole power generation devices and method for generating power downhole

A downhole injector apparatus for injecting a taggant into a wellbore includes an injector nozzle outlet and a taggant reservoir in fluid communication with the injector nozzle outlet and configured to hold the taggant to be injected. The apparatus further includes a pressure wave generator configured to apply a pressure wave within the reservoir to expel the taggant from the reservoir through the injector nozzle outlet.
