Abstract
A system and method for providing redundant wired pipe-in-pipe telemetry is described. In one embodiment, a system includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe disposed within the outer pipe. The outer pipe axially supports the inner pipe using a collar of the inner pipe. A first conductive element is coupled to the inner pipe and disposed at least partially within an annulus between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. A second conductive element is disposed within the outer pipe. A wired path controller is coupled to the collar of the inner pipe, and also coupled to the first conductive element and the second conductive element. A connector is coupled to the collar of the inner pipe, which coupled the second conductive element to the wired path controller.
