چکیده

This paper provides an explanation of the general principles of operation of the Intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology and focuses on the current areas of interest and applications of this technology within the industry. Currently the technology is mainly used for perimeter monitoring of utility assets and third party intervention monitoring on buried pipelines. In the oil & gas sector distributed acoustic measurements are used in vertical seismic profiling and flow allocation measurements. The paper explores some of current applications of this technology. This paper also explores and provides information that will enable the potential for future applications.

Field testing of modular borehole monitoring with simultaneous distributed acoustic sensing and geophone vertical seismic profiles at Citronelle, Alabama

A modular borehole monitoring concept has been implemented to provide a suite of well-based monitoring tools that can be deployed cost effectively in a flexible and robust package. The initial modular borehole monitoring system was deployed as part of a CO2 injection test operated by the Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership near Citronelle, Alabama. The Citronelle modular monitor...

Detection of Solvents using a Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor

Introduction: In this Letter an optical fibre sensor capable of making fully distributed measurements of a wide range of solvents is identified. Microbending principles have been used to develop the sensor such that it responds on contact with liquid solvents, typically within 30 seconds of exposure. The sensor incorporates a swelling polymer and optical fibre components that are readily availa...

Development of a 50mhz Fabry-perot Type Fibre-optic Hydrophone for the Characterisation of Medical Ultrasound Fields

Modern diagnostic medical ultrasound equipment increasingly uses higher frequencies to improve spatial resolution. Higher power ultrasound (US) sources are also being used for therapeutic applications. These higher powered sources cause non-linear propagation of the US within the body and the subsequent harmonic distortion leads to a much wider frequency content of the signal being measured. Ch...
