Abstract:
Fiber optic instrumentation is sensitive to temperature, strain, acoustics and seismic signals. This versatility can enable various types of cables to monitor different types of infrastructure in real time with high spatial and temporal resolution. In this presentation I give an overview of how operators are using these sensors to assess aspects of well and pipeline integrity. Showing various case studies, we demonstrate how this technology can greatly improve operations of critical assets including power cables that instrument offshore and land facilities. I will show how these real time sensors can also be used for subsurface analysis that can help operations of reservoirs and/or underground storage facilities.
