Critical Analysis and Application of Optical Fiber Sensors in Oil and Gas Industry . Arsalan Ahmeda Godio Albertob a(MSc Petroleum Engieering, DIATI, Politecnico di Torino) b(Supervisor, Associate Professor, DIATI ,Politecnico di Torino) Abstract Optical fiber sensors application in oil and gas industry both in upstream and downstream sector have very importance from measurement of temperature, pressure to vibration. Some of the most prominent examples, and its usage: in seismic measurement causes by Hydraulic Fracturing. And the usage of optical fiber in oil and gas industry apart from measuring seismicity is very prominent and already in practice like Haliburton 1 (FiberPoint) which is the pressure gauge provide reliable point pressure at temperature results up to 300C. To evaluate injection and production flow profiling Haliburton (FiberLog) service is the best solution for it and these are retrievable fiber optic. On the other hand, fiber optics like (Haliburton (StimWatch) are also of great use in determining simulation fluid distribution across the reservoir. There are many technology and are in practice for monitoring and measurement other parameters like a distributed temperature sensing (DTS)2 system consisting of a surface unit using a laser and photo detector and Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is an even more recent technological development because of its physical properties that glass can thrive as a sensor at extremely high temperatures and efficiently transmit large quantities of data and the fundamental of this technology is the Acoustic Amplitude. All these technologies are not economical. In conclusion, the optical fiber sensors are very resistant to high temperature and data transmission is also very efficient but for measuring and critical analysis of different optical fiber sensors and technology for measuring a common parameter effectively and economically is the real scientific task of my thesis.
