Optiq Fiber-Optic Solutions: Transforming Energy Industries
Optiq fiber-optic solutions by Schlumberger are revolutionizing the energy industry by harnessing the power of light for multidomain measurements. Unlike traditional discrete sensors, Optiq utilizes fiber-optic strands as sensors, allowing for continuous, real-time measurements along the entire length of the fiber-optic strand. This distributed sensing technology offers a range of solutions including distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), distributed temperature sensing (DTS), distributed temperature gradient sensing (DTGS), and distributed strain and temperature sensing (DSTS) systems, catering to various applications in oil and gas, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), geothermal energy production, and mining.
Optiq Solutions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications
In the upstream oil and gas sector, Optiq fiber-optic solutions provide unique microsolutions for various applications. The Optiq Seismic fiber-optic borehole seismic solution allows reservoir engineers to integrate borehole seismic data for reservoir delineation and field development optimization throughout the field's life cycle. With high-resolution seismic profiles acquired in minutes, Optiq Seismic enhances reservoir modeling efficiency. Additionally, Optiq solutions facilitate induced seismicity monitoring, well integrity assessment, production monitoring, injection monitoring, stimulation effectiveness monitoring, and flowback monitoring, enabling comprehensive insights into reservoir performance and operational efficiency.
Optiq Solutions in Midstream Oil and Gas Applications
For midstream oil and gas operations, Optiq fiber-optic solutions serve as a remote pipeline integrity monitoring system, offering real-time leak detection, pig tracking, and perimeter intrusion capabilities. Leveraging machine learning and AI, Optiq enhances threat detection and provides valuable insights into asset activities. This technology ensures the integrity and security of oil and gas pipelines, mitigating potential risks and optimizing operational performance.
Deployment Flexibility and Innovations with Optiq Solutions
Schlumberger's Optiq solutions provide deployment flexibility with permanent and temporary deployment options. Permanent deployment solutions involve installing hybrid fiber-optic electrical cables within completion strings or tubing for long-term monitoring. Temporary deployment options include innovative fiber-optic coiled tubing, wireline, and slickline conveyances such as the ACTive Power system, Optiq TuffLINE, Optiq StreamLINE, and Optiq SlickLINE. These temporary solutions offer unique capabilities like powered downhole measurements, high pulling capacity, and grease-free wireline conveyance, enhancing operational efficiency and data accuracy.
