Hydrocarbon detection in oil and gas wells using fiber optic sensing cables

University of Texas System

Abstract

Methods and systems that provide ways to detect the hydrocarbon flow while eliminating the hydrogen darkening effect in the downhole environment by separated strain and temperature measurement. The methods and systems use fiber optic sensing cables for real-time detection of hydrocarbon fluids ( …
