Permanent Reservoir Monitoring Using 4C Fiber-optic Sensors in Seabed Cable

Advances in fiber optic technology provide a system for 4D reservoir monitoring. Successful pilot demonstrations in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea shows the optical system meets the requirements for permanent reservoir monitoring. Advances in the optical technology, have turned this system into a practical tool for 4C permanent reservoir monitoring. We have demonstrated the optical systems capabilities in deepwater with high channel count over many kilometers while maintaining high dynamic range, low crosstalk and low distortion. The optical system is an excellent fit for and a preferred solution for permanent reservoir monitoring systems.
