First EAGE Workshop on Fibre Optic Sensing for Reservoir and Production Monitoring
| Date: | 9-11 March 2020 |
| Location: | Amsterdam, The Netherlands |
| Attendees: | 70+ |
| Organizer: | EAGE |
| Format: | Workshop |
Overview
Rapidly advancing developments in fibre optic sensing technologies have led to increased use in reservoir and production monitoring applications within the energy industry. Distributed-sensing techniques allow for measurement of physical properties such as temperature, pressure, strain and acoustics with increased accuracy and cost-effectiveness in geoscience applications.
This workshop focuses on the application of fibre-optic sensing as a tool for reservoir and production monitoring. An optional pre-workshop short course will provide an introduction to fibre-optic sensing. We invite submissions suitable for both, the technical experts and generalists with interest in this technology. We invite case studies with examples of proven business impact as well as modelling and theoretical studies. These papers will help the participants in the subsequent discussions to evaluate lessons learned and define “best practices”.
Aim
The aim of this workshop is to solidify the understanding of fibre optic sensing technologies within the geoscience community while highlighting successful applications and findings. The workshop will begin with a short course examining the fundamentals of fibre optic sensing with a key focus on features and applications of distributed sensors for geophysical measurements.
The technical programme will contain presentations on advancements in instrumentation, applications and technology integration. A special focus will also be placed on current challenges, business impacts and evolving best practices. Recognized industry experts will also contribute to the depth of technical talks through keynote presentations.
