FIBRE OPTIC IN RESERVOIR SENSING

2 PAGES (252 WORDS) Applied Geophysics Paper

Fibre optic technologies

came out of military and space research and development programme. Until

recently, glass chemistry and laser interrogation hardware have not been at a

level of robust where systems could survive in down-hole environments for long

periods. Because of the physical properties, glass can thrive as a sensor at

extremely high temperatures and efficiently high temperatures and efficiently

transmit large quantities of data where as in the past, one may have been

limited to a couple of sensing points per well.
