Downhole temperatures from optical fiber
Publication details: Winter 2008/2009Description: 5 p. ; 34-39 In: Oilfield Review 20Summary: For more than a decade, fiber-optic technology has slowly been integrated into an expanding array of oilfield applications. In addition to being a medium for transmitting data and commands, optical fiber is an intrinsic thermometer that can be sampled along its entire length. This article describes how operators use pulses of light to monitor downhole temperature and thermal processes.| Current library | Status | Barcode | |
