Revolutionising the use of fibre optics in oil and gas industry

摘要

OPTASENSE, PROVIDER OF distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) OptaSense, at the recently held ADIPEC, introduced the new technology of fibre optics, until now used in the telecommunications industry, into oil and gas wells. The DAS technology utilises fibre optic cable which acts as a distributed microphone, with high spatial resolution over long distances. The DASHFP (hydraulic fracture profiling) service is used within hydraulic fracture operations where OptaSense technology not only improves the operational efficiency of hydraulic fracture stimulation but also provides a real-time monitoring capability to verify well integrity.
