Case Studies: Fiber Optic Sensing Cable for Monitoring Enhanced Geothermal Systems

A suite of optical sensors for monitoring pressure and temperature in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) that is also applicable to oil and gas wells, is being developed by a team of researchers from AFL, General Electric Co., QOREX, and Sandia National Labs. In the second year of this government sponsored project, a fiber optic cable and key sensing subsystems have been designed...
