Abstract
An electromagnetic (EM) telemetry system with telluric referencing for use with downhole equipment is described. Embodiments of an EM telemetry system with telluric referencing include a downhole transceiver comprising an encoded signal transmitter, a downhole sensor disposed to monitor the downhole equipment, the downhole sensor coupled to the transceiver, an encoded signal receiver, a reference receiver spaced apart from the encoded signal receiver and communicatively coupled to the encoded signal receiver, and a telluric voltage module coupled to one of the encoded signal receiver and the reference receiver. The telluric voltage module is communicatively coupled to the encoded signal receiver and the reference receiver to receive an encoded signal and a reference signal, respectively, which may include telluric noise. The telluric voltage module synchronizes the encoded signal and the reference signal, subtracts the reference signal from the encoded signal, and outputs a signal free from telluric noise.
