fiber optics

The authors of this paper describe a fiber-optic diagnostic method based on Rayleigh frequency shift that provides new insights about the characteristics of the near-wellbore region during production.

Glynn Williams, CEO of Silixa, offers his take on the role fiber-optic technology will play in the rise of CO2 storage and on the firm’s progress in the tight-rock sector.

An agreement between the companies will allow them to combine efforts to develop edge-enabled fiber-optic technology.

This paper describes a novel machine-learning approach for processing distributed fiber-optic sensing data that enables dynamic flow-profile monitoring using a fiber-optic electric-line cable deployed in a gas condensate well.

The awards will be presented on 23 March at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

ExpressFiber is a single-use system that uses disposable-fiber technology.

Halliburton supplies the sensing and analytics technology, and TechnipFMC provides the necessary connections. The combination, which won a Spotlight on New Technology Award, will be used by ExxonMobil in Guyana.

The paper discusses a methodology for integrating intelligent completion and production systems with a modeling and analytics framework for efficient development of fiber-optic-based data-interpretation services for complex downhole environments.

Before the giant Johan Sverdrup field had produced even one barrel of oil, operator Equinor and its license partners set a recovery ambition of greater than 70% for the field.

The complete paper describes the development of the “digital field worker” at Johan Sverdrup, an initiative that has changed the approach toward not only construction and completion but also operations.
