Abstract
Distributed fibre optic sensing is a fast-developing technology, which already gained popularity for various geophysical applications. Dedicated research laboratories and instrumented sites contributed a lot to acceleration of the technology development. While most of the facilities have near-surface fiber installations, Curtin GeoLab was initially built around a deep instrumented well. Once we get an opportunity to compliment the setup with near-surface installation comprised of some unused dark fiber already installed on campus and a purposely buried sensing cable. However, getting the exact cable location turned out to be an interesting task. Here we present an approach to location of the near surface fiber installation using the multilateration technique and data from an active surface seismic survey.
