Upstream - Downhole and wells
The Omnisens DITEST measuring technique provides monitoring solutions to the upstream oil & gas industry where distributed pressure, temperature and strain monitoring brings added value to the oil extraction and operation.
As the worldwide oil reserve is decreasing exploitation of difficult reservoirs such as arctic, subsea and ultradeep water wells has developed rapidely.
Compared to standard wells, the production of these reservoirs requires complex and high performance instrumentation such as fiber optic distributed pressure, distriburted temperature and strain monitoring.
The applications range from the detection of gas and steam breakthrough in production wells, integrity monitoring of well casing, enhanced operation of thermal wells, water injection control and optimization, flow and pressure monitoring.
The Omnisens DITEST BRILLOUIN-based solutions provide the following advantages compared to other technologies:
- 0.1°C temperature resolution
- High strain resolution
- Insensitivity to hydrogen darkening
- Very large optical budget and dynamic range
- Calibration insensitive to varying attenuation and losses
- Distributed pressure monitoring
