World's first permanent in‐well fibre Bragg grating sensors perform seismic surveys

Abstract

This paper describes the use of fibre‐optics for seismic monitoring in oil wells. Based on fibre Bragg grating technology, the system can withstand temperatures of up to 175°C and extremely high pressures. It allows seismic surveys to be undertaken throughout the lifetime of the well.
