Schlumberger Announces New WellWatcher Fiber Optic Technology for Heavy Oil Recovery

摘要

Schlumberger has introduced its new WellWatcher BriteBlue* harsh environment multimode fiber and WellWatcher Ultra* distributed temperature acquisition system.The WellWatcher BriteBlue harsh environment multimode fiber can be used as a distributed sensor for applications such as Distributed Temperature Sensing or for high-speed communication between downhole sensors and a surface acquisition unit.The new generation fiber was designed especially for use in extreme heat and hydrogen environments-environments that can cause most optical fibers to degrade in physical integrity and performance over time.The new design and technology makes WellWatcher BriteBlue particularly suitable for thermal heavy oil recovery applications.
