The small perturbation theory was used to solve the mathematical model; then, a model was established to compute the velocity and attenuation coefficient of mud pulse signal, and the simulated result of the model is in line with the measured attenuation in field test. With the mathematical model, the influencing factors for mud pulse attenuation were simulated and analyzed. The results reveal that the gas holdup, system pressure and pulse frequency are the major influencing factors. In case of low gas holdup (0–5%), as the gas holdup increases, the pulse velocity decreases drastically, and as it further increases, the pulse velocity tends to be flattened; whereas the attenuation coefficient increases gr
