Abstract

Summary

A key challenge to implement DAS in subsea wells is the limited capability of existing DAS interrogators to operate over several kilometres of lead-in cable and wet-mate connector losses. We report here the results from an experiment performed with a new DAS interrogator in a simulated subsea well scenario. We demonstrate that DAS can be adopted to subsea well interrogation utilizing standard single mode optical fibres without any need for specialized or engineered fibre. Even with 10 dB additional loss (one-way) from lead-in fibre and wet-mate connectors, marginal impact on the instrument self-noise is observed.
