Subsea fiber optic sensing is moving from isolated trials to scalable, permanent deployments, delivering continuous measurements that improve situational awareness and shorten the path from detection to action.
When implemented end-to-end, fiber enables decision support across well integrity surveillance, flow diagnostics and allocation support, VSP/4D enablement, and stimulation monitoring - ultimately strengthening reservoir understanding and production optimization throughout the asset lifecycle.
This workshop focuses on what it takes to scale Subsea Fiber Optic Sensing - not only sensing performance, but subsea infrastructure readiness and operational integration. Topics include subsea architecture constraints (connectivity, power/communications capacity, reliability and maintainability, intervention strategy), interfaces from subsea to topside and onshore, and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) requirements to handle high-volume continuous data (data quality, governance, cybersecurity, and fit-for-purpose platforms). We also address completion and well design considerations to embed fiber requirements early, and the interpretation/analytics workflows needed to deliver decision-grade outputs in the subsea environment.
