In-Depth Understanding of Fiber Optic Sensing Network

Fiber optic sensing network is a tendency for many applications. It supports a large number of sensors in a single optical fiber with high-speed, high security, and low attenuation. This article provides some information about fiber optic sensing networks.

What is Fiber Optic Sensing Network?

A fiber optic sensing network detects changes in temperature, strain, vibrations, and sound by using the physical properties of light as it travels along an optical fiber. The optical fiber itself is the sensor, resulting in thousands of continuous sensor points along the fiber length.

How Does Fiber Optic Sensing Network work?

A fiber optic sensing network works by measuring changes in the backscattered light inside of the fiber when it meets temperature, strain, and vibration.

Rayleigh scattering is produced by fluctuations in the density inside of the fiber. Raman scattering is produced by the interaction with molecular vibration inside the fiber. The intensity of anti-Stokes rays is mainly dependent on temperature. Brillouin scattering is caused by the interaction with sound waves inside the medium. The frequency is dependent on strain and temperature.

Operating Principle of Fiber Optic Sensing Network

Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR)

In the OTDR principle, a laser pulse is generated from solid-state or semiconductor lasers and is sent into the fiber. The backscattered light is analyzed for temperature monitoring. From the time it takes the backscattered light to return to the detection unit, it is possible to locate the location of the temperature event.

Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR)

The OFDR principle provides information about the local characteristics of temperature. This information is only available when the signal is backscattered in the function of frequency. It allows for efficient use of available bandwidth and enables distributed sensing with a maximum updated rate in the fiber.

Fiber Optic Sensing Network Technologies

Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS): DTS uses the Raman effect to measure temperature distribution over the length of a fiber optic cable using the fiber itself as the sensing element.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS): DAS uses Rayleigh scattering in the optical fiber to detect acoustic vibration.

Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS): DSS provides spatially resolved elongation (strain) shapes along an optical fiber by combining multiple sensing cables at different positions in the asset cross-section.

Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensing (DSTS): DSTS uses Brillouin scattering in optical fibers to measure changes in temperature and strain along the length of an optical fiber.

Electricity DTS: Reliable temperature measurement of high-voltage transmission lines is essential to help meet the rising electricity demand. Fiber optic sensing, integrated into distributed temperature sensors on power lines, help ensure optimal safety and performance in both medium- and long-distance systems.

Oil and Gas DTS : Many lands and subsea oil operations rely heavily on DTS for improved safety and functionality in harsh environments. Fiber optic sensing ensures reliable performance and durability in high-temperature, high-pressure, and hydrogen-rich environments.

Oil and Gas DAS: The optical fiber in DAS creates a long sensor element that can detect high-resolution events throughout the entire length of the fiber.

Fiber Optic Navigation Sensing: Fiber optics are used in navigation systems to provide accurate information about location and direction. Aircraft, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and ground vehicles require advanced optical fiber navigation technology to ensure reliability and safety.

Fiber Optic Shape Sensing Technology: Reconstructs and displays the entire shape of optical fiber in 2D and 3D. The technology enables cutting-edge applications such as robotic, minimally invasive surgery, energy, virtual Reality (VR), etc.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Technology: Use of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) with different reflection wavelengths (Bragg wavelengths) in one optical fiber.

Applications

A fiber optic sensing network is used to monitor pipelines, bridges, tunnels, roadways, and railways. Also, it is used in oil & gas, power and utility, safety and security, fire detection, industrial, civil engineering, transportation, military, smart city, minimally invasive surgery, internet of thing (IoT), etc.

SOLO / MUTE / PAN

OLGA KOKCHAROVA, LAURENT GÜDEL & GUESTS

18.9.-20.11.2022

SOLO / MUTE / PAN is a collaborative exhibition project that brings together for the first time Olga Kokcharova (*1985, CH / RU, Geneva) and Laurent Güdel (*1984, CH, Biel), two sound artists whose common ground is their work with listening and sound spatialization. Using various recording and amplification techniques, Olga and Laurent auscultated the Kunsthaus building during the hot summer 2022. Their respective approaches consider phonography (the writing of sound through microphones) not only as a documentation process, but also as a performative and musical act.

Using microphones, sensors and measuring devices, the two musicians recorded the electromagnetic radiation emanating from the lighting in the exhibition rooms, from control panels, security systems and the payment terminal. They also recorded the creaking of the parquet, the grumbling of the air conditioning and ventilation system, and the evening silence of the empty offices. The special acoustic of the Salle Poma was activated with the help of feedback techniques, horn loudspeakers, a small radio receiver and two pairs of shoes. Olga and Laurent also practiced soundwalking, recording each other, without making too much noise, as they wandered through the bowels of the building and its immediate surroundings. For example, they crossed the building from the roof to the basement, where the art depository of the Kunsthaus collection is located, via the staircase of the emergency exit. Sometimes they met tenants of the studios, recalcitrant printing devices or Elmo the cat.

Olga and Laurent have developed a sound piece that extends over two floors of the old building. They have assembled the accumulated sound material into a composition that is played on an acousmonium (an orchestra of loudspeakers with different properties) and distributed through the Kunsthaus’s exhibition space. This setup of loudspeaker refers to the field of electroacoustic music while diverting it from its initial purpose. Thus, the two artists operate in the intermediate space between musical composition and sound art.  Their approach contradicts the very idea of museum architecture – which consists of a succession of exhibition spaces – by relying on the inherent property of sound not to care about walls. Here everything spills over, leaks and opens up.

Each visitor is encouraged to build their own path through the sonic environment of the installation, to find their own rhythm, their own places to stop or their ideal listening position. These choices lead to a unique listening experience. Thus, each person becomes a co-creator of the sound composition.

As part of the exhibition, Olga and Laurent are organising four residencies of artists working at the intersection of music and sound art. During a three-day residency at the Kunsthaus, these six guests* work on, intervene in or expand a part of the sound system installed for the exhibition. Each residency finishes with a performance and leaves a noticeable trace in the composition created by Olga and Laurent.

The exhibition will be documented in the form of an audio tape.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing: The Future of Downhole Monitoring

Distributed Acoustic Sensing is an optical fiber sensing technique that uses fiber optic cables to detect and record acoustic and seismic signals along extended distances. Standard DAS arrays can continuously monitor signals over distances of 10-100 km with resolutions as fine as 1 meter. Specialty this systems can monitor over distances greater than 100 km.

How Does it Work?

Distributed Acoustic Sensing works by detecting acoustic or seismic signals that interact with the fiber optic cable. Standard telecommunications optical fibers are used, with no special components required within the fiber itself. Laser pulses are sent down the fiber and any signal that mechanically perturbs the fiber will cause some of the backscattered light to change wavelength via the Brillouin effect. This change is measured and provides information about the location and nature of the acoustic signal. By timing the return signal, the system can accurately locate acoustic events to within centimeters over the entire length of the fiber.

Applications for Downhole Monitoring

One of the most promising applications for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is in downhole monitoring during oil and gas operations. Standard techniques like tubing-deployed monitoring tools provide point measurements but are unable to continuously monitor zones between sensor locations. It offers the potential to monitor acoustic signals along the entire length of production or injection wells. This opens up possibilities like:

- Flow profiling to detect zones of higher or lower flow along horizontal wellbores. Pinpointing fluid movement across fractures or between reservoir layers.

- Completion diagnostics to locate failed zones, casing leaks or other problems without pulling tools in and out of the well. Real-time monitoring avoids unnecessary workovers.

- Hydraulic fracturing monitoring to observe fracture propagation in unprecedented detail. It can detect the exact location and timing of perforation shots from multi-stage fracs to optimize treatment.

- Production monitoring to detect downhole fluid problems like sand ingress or water breakthrough earlier. Real-time zonal isolation monitoring avoids premature well shut-ins or abandonment.

Challenges for Downhole Deployment

While it shows tremendous promise for downhole monitoring applications, several technical challenges must still be addressed for reliable long-term deployment down wellbores:

- Temperature effects - Standard telecom fibers exhibit significant signal attenuation above around 80°C which limits applications to shallower wells or those with significant cooling. Ruggedized high-temperature fibers are being developed and tested.

- Fiber protection - Downhole fibers must withstand abrasive fluids, sand production, production tubing movement and other hazards. Robust protective coatings and housings are an active area of research to provide sufficient buffering.

- Deployment reliability - Repeated deployment of Distributed Acoustic Sensing cables downhole without damage requires further refinement of deployment tools and techniques. Improved reliability avoids unnecessary operational costs.

- Power supply – Downhole sensors require reliable long-term power, usually supplied topside via the fiber optic cable itself. High temperatures and rugged deployment impact power delivery abilities.

Overcoming these challenges is an area of active industry R&D with progress continually being made. As reliability improves, it promises to transform downhole monitoring capabilities.

Permanent Reservoir Monitoring Applications

In addition to deployments during discrete operations like hydraulic fracturing treatments, permanent reservoir monitoring (PRM) use cases provide some of the most exciting potential applications for Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology:

- Long-term zonal isolation - Continuously monitor for fluid migration or casing issues for early remediation to avoid premature reservoir compartmentalization.

- Water/gas coning detection - Detect upward fluid fronts earlier to optimize production strategies before detrimental water/gas breakthrough.

- Compartmentalized reservoir management - Optimize production across disparate zones within the same reservoir by continually profiling inter-zonal flow behaviors.

- 4D seismic correlation - Directly correlating time-lapse 4D seismic surveys with downhole fluid fronts encountered by DAS arrays to rapidly refine subsurface models.

- Borehole stability monitoring - Detect microseismicity, casing strains or fractures for zonal integrity assurance over decades-long field lifetimes. Avoid costly workovers.

The ability to continually monitor entire wellbores for decades enables unprecedented reservoir insight to maximize recovery. As technical issues are solved, PRM using it will drive major efficiency gains across mature fields globally.

Distributed acoustic sensing using fiber optic cables represents a disruptive new monitoring paradigm. Moving away from discrete downhole sensors towards continuum sensing unlocks capabilities never before possible. With continued progress,it  will profoundly impact how subsurface operations are planned, executed and optimized. Permanent reservoir and long-term zonal isolation monitoring promise to drive step-changes in efficient, cost-effective oilfield management. It is truly the future of downhole monitoring and reservoir insight.
