90 minsFiber Optics Distributed sensing technologies are evolving in the Oil and Gas industry with its potential applications in many areas of surveillance including injection, production and stimulation monitoring. In comparison to conventional surveillance, fiber optics doesn't require well interventions and can provide continuous measurements along the entire wellbore. This session aims to discuss the applications of FO for monitoring of water/polymer injection, well production, multiphase flow allocation and stimulation diagnostics. Case studies as well as a new workflows are included in the session.

90 minsOver a decade ago, well interventions entered a new era with the introduction of real-time downhole telemetry. Access to actionable insights during operations, and in particular to distributed sensing surveys acquired thanks to the fiber optics cable enabling those systems, allowed creating new operational workflows, unlocking new opportunities, and generating efficiency gains. After several years of continuous use, the range of applications and conveyance means keeps expanding. This session aims to explore how distributed sensing is reshaping well interventions and which are the lessons learned over the past decade.

90 minsThis session demonstrates the application of DFOS for different aspects of well integrity monitoring. Unlike conventional single point sensors, DFOS’s ability to observe well behaviour over its entire length for the duration of the survey while the well is manipulated at surface gives Operators some unique insights into the wells’ performance and behaviour. These insights lead to more robust identification of well problems and higher quality remediation.

90 minsFiber Optic measurements cover a wide range of applications across energy industries including Carbon Capture and Sequestration, geothermal energy production and wind energy. This session will explore the different applications of fiber optic within renewables and CCS including but not limited to: co2 plume monitoring, seismicity detection, evaluation of CO2 injection profiles, well injection containment geothermal production optimization or high power generator of in wind turbines.

90 minsDeployment of Fiber Optic sensors in subsea wells carries unique challenges, but also provides tremendous value not previously available to operators. Particularly, the ability to have real-time monitoring along the entire length of subsea wells without performing expensive logging operations is a very powerful addition to the well surveillance toolkit. This session explores the challenges that can be faced in these deployments, equipment advances to better enable deployment, and value streams made possible by fiber optic monitoring in subsea wells.

Distributed fiber optic sensing is a hot topic, and through an increased number of installations, access to low frequency data, and more available fiber optic interventions, this will reinforces the original monitoring objectives. At the same time, it will open doors to new monitoring methods and applications. Is the trend in fiber optic monitoring changing, are we still monitoring with the same purpose in mind? And as we open up for a wider range of monitoring discussions, will this benefit the subsurface monitoring community, or stretch the workshops and discussions too thin? How can we balance traditional and new topics, hydrocarbon and green projects, experienced and new members of this expanding community, while still creating value for our companies?
Panelists from our industry will discuss and address these challenges during the first part of the panel session, followed by a Q&A session with the workshop audience.

90 minsContinuous advancements in downhole fiber optic monitoring technology and deployment methods have been enabling novel monitoring solutions in the energy industry to enhance operating efficiency, reservoir characterisation, production optimisation, and well integrity. This session aims to explore the latest developments and breakthroughs in enabling and emerging fiber optic technologies and methods. The session will explore advancements in fiber optic sensors, instrumentation technology, sensing techniques, deployment methods, and data interpretation methodologies and how these can be used to enable novel solutions in practice, as demonstrated in recent laboratory validation or through deployments in the field.

Downhole fiber optic instrumentation has historically included distributed temperature sensing as well as point sensors such as optical gauges. Newer wells now include dedicated fibers for acoustic sensing DAS and other strain sensing. The wide range of applications, from seismic surveillance to well integrity and production optimisation, that fiber provides require that integrated teams realize the value of the same instruments and what benefits they may bring over the full well life cycle.
As more permanent fiber installations come online we are looking for contributions that address the value of instrumenting and monitoring assets continuously. We welcome contributions that address downhole surveillance of producer/injector/reservoir interactions as seen from flow measurements and time lapse analysis.
