    • A means of investigating the quality and/or nature of perforations in a downhole environment is disclosed. A ‘pecking’ finger and depth measuring probe that can be axially and radially displaced enables the perforation to be located and its depth determined, through sequentially pecking around the wall lining in patterns such as radial, axial, and spiral sequences. By swinging a pecking finger that supports a depth measuring probe or cable with a bullet or conically shaped tip and measuring the displacement of the finger, the edge and centre of the hole can be determined with the largest displacement being when the tip is fully in the hole. When this position has been determined, the depth measuring cable is deployed and the depth of the perforation can be established by both an increase in the force required to push the cable and by the displacement of the pecking finger as it is pushed back by the reaction forces on the cable. Thus, a downhole tool comprises a elongate housing for insertion into a downhole environment, from which a probe extends radially by a variable amount, means for driving the probe in a radial direction, and means for sensing resistance to outward radial movement of the probe. One or more radially extendable clamps can be provided for fixing the tool within a surrounding bore. These can be at the upper and/or lower ends of the tool. Ideally, they are moveable between an extended and a retracted position by interengagement with a member moveable relative to a remainder of the tool in a direction that is longitudinal relative to the tool. The member can be, for example, a sleeve extending longitudinally around the tool, the sleeve being moveable longitudinally along the tool. These clamps could be used to fix other types of tool in place in a downhole environment, or one similar to a downhole environment.

This means that the secondary wireless network can have a restricted power output suitable for use proximate to wellheads, with the result that the range is unlikely to be greater than 1 km. The at least one sensor can be an oil or gas wellhead pressure sensor, preferably self powered. The nodes of the primary network may contain GPS receivers, to synchronise the sensors with which the nodes communicate, and aid routing performance of the primary wireless meshing network.

    • An electrical signalling system comprises a modulator arranged to accept information and encode that information in an alternating signal containing repeated rising and falling edges, the encoding being by way of the time between consecutive rising and falling edges a transmission path for the signal from the modulator to a demodulator, wherein the modulator is arranged to precede a data signal with a reference signal of a known time, and the demodulator is arranged to detect that reference signal and calculate a calibration error therefrom. The demodulator can record the calibration error and subtract this from subsequent data signals. The demodulator can alternatively (or in addition) adjust the threshold for future signals, on the basis of the calibration error. This is particularly suited to inductive transmission paths such as a three-phase electrical supply cable leading to downhole sensors in the oil and gas extraction industries.

    • A measurement head particularly for borehole use can measure multiple parameters with no electronics in the head and only a single conductor cable. Double-ended tuning forks (26, 28 and 38, 40) in the head are arranged to respond to different parameters such as temperature and pressure by adjusting their resonant frequencies. A drive signal on the conductor (50) is applied to transducers (30, 32, 42, 44) on all the tuning forks and those whose instantaneous resonant frequency is close will resonate. The signal is removed and the transducers return a decaying signal at the resonant frequency along the conductor. Other drive frequencies are tried, to locate the other sensors whose frequency ranges are separate.
