Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS)

This application note evaluates the pertinent underwater application requirements, operational risk factors and practical service life of cables that are directly influenced by a number of elements.

Demonstration of low attenuation metal-coated optical fiber and cable capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°C. Performance will be validated by using a DTS instrument to measure temperature.

This paper will demonstrate a metal-coated fiber capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°C.

This application note provides an overview of the importance of material selection for oil and gas applications involving high temperatures in conjunction with various mechanical loadings.

Inside of many subsea umbilical cables, optical fiber data communications is needed to monitor fluid flow rate, pressure and temperature at a subsea wellhead.

Traditional Downhole Cables are designed to be rugged and durable for optimal performance in wellbore completions with severe mechanical loads, elevated temperatures, and production fluids.

Research update on the suite of optical sensors for monitoring pressure and temperature in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) that is also applicable to oil and gas wells.

Field-installable connectors provide a convenient method for terminating fiber optic cable at remote job site locations.

The recently released Fujikura PCS-100 is a novel stripping tool for removing polyimide coating from optical fibers.

Optical fibers have been used in the petroleum industry for years and in this paper we demonstrate improved reliability of recently developed hermetic, high operating temperature optical fiber.

Optical fibers with improved hermeticity, strength and chemical resistance are presented.

A new class of novel optical fiber structure were designed for improved use in harsh environments typical of oil and gas applications.

Optical fiber based systems have enabled improvements in capabilities and functionality as well as higher rates of data transfer over longer transmission distances.

This is a technology that allows the measurement of strain and temperature along a passive fiber optic element or waveguide path over long distances utilizing the phenomenon of Brillouin Scattering.
