Northside: Evolution of Reservoir Monitoring via Fiber Optic Integration into Deepwater and Land Wells

For more than 15 years, fiber optic monitoring tools have been used to acquire real time data as to optimize production, monitor well and infrastructure conditions. Fiber optics based monitoring systems have been deployed to provide downhole characteristics, assurance on the completion and production monitoring and infrastructure for both land and offshore wells.
 
This presentation will review some of the advantages of fiber optic based monitoring systems, fiber optic tools and interrogation techniques such as distributed temperature sensing (DTS), Pressure Temperature (PT) sensors, Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG’s), Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) from the early adoption days to the ground breaking developments and deployments which the industry has seen in the past few months such as deployment of a down hole wet connect, strain monitoring of completions, and real time compaction monitoring systems.
 
This presentation will further cover the applications and benefits of the mentioned fiber optic sensing tools, field specific challenges (temperature, monitoring distances, offsets), choices of fibers for the specific environment, and environmental impacts for the fiber optic monitoring system.
