Downhole Fiber Optic Cable
Fibercore offers a range of designs for downhole fiber optic cable to meet the specific requirements of your oil or gas well. These types of cables are permanently installed either cemented in behind the casing or strapped to the production tubing. The optical fibers can be used to sense temperature and listen to well bore activities along the entire length of the cable and can be used for telemetry to point fiber optic sensors, such as pressure sensors and strain sensors.
This information provides key data to the reservoir engineer to better manage both the well and the reservoir. Design variables include type and number of optical fibers, metal types to deal with different corrosive environments, thicknesses of metal tubes to handle different pressure requirements and outer encapsulations for improved handling and abrasion resistance.
