Abstract
Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems have offered oil and gas companies critical asset monitoring solutions for years. DTS monitoring solutions provide real-time, dynamic temperature data with high accuracy, fine resolution and fast measurement speeds. DTS systems can provide tens of thousands of discrete temperature measurement readings along the complete length of an optical sensing fiber. These systems provide significant cost savings by identifying the location of leaks, optimizing gas lift operations, identifying under-performing zones, and monitoring thermal changes in steam drive applications. This paper discloses the first truly self-correcting DTS solution, which incorporates a revolutionary dual laser technology. This technology provides energy companies with the simplest, fastest, and most reliable DTS deployment available to the industry, combined with a capability to automatically correct for dynamic changes to the sensing fiber.
