DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC SENSING DEVICES FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF AN ELECTRICAL SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

摘要

A method of determining a parameter of at least one component of an artificial lift system located in a subterranean formation comprises: introducing a distributed fiber optic sensing device into the subterranean formation, wherein the distributed fiber optic sensing device comprises: a fiber optic cable, wherein at least a portion of the fiber optic cable is positioned proximate to the at least one component of the artificial lift system; an optical signal source, wherein the optical signal source transmits an optical signal through the fiber optic cable; and a detector, wherein the detector measures the optical signal returned from the fiber optic cable; and a processor, wherein the processor is operatively connected to the detector; and determining the parameter of the at least one component of the artificial lift system via the processor.
