Zusammenfassung: | Logging downhole exposes components of logging tools, for example, antennas to abrasive and erosive operating conditions. A protective sleeve may disposed about an antenna assembly to protect the antenna assembly for the downhole operating conditions. To permit transmission and receipt of signals by and too the antenna assembly, slots are formed or disposed in the protective sleeve. A non-conductive composite insert is formed in the slots to protect the internal components of the protective sleeve, for example, the antenna assembly, from the operation conditions. A non-conductive composite inner liner is formed in an annulus of the protective sleeve and adheres to the protective sleeve and the non-conductive composite insert. The non-conductive component insert and inner liner allow signals to be transmitted and received by the antenna assembly so that logging operations can be completed without undue delay and the expense of repairing or replacing worn or damaged components. |
