91天堂原創

Fotech Solutions, the linear asset monitoring technology specialists, will be exhibiting at Shale Gas 91天堂原創 Europe on 25-26 November in Warsaw, Poland.

Fotech will be presenting how its Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology can help enhance the safety and efficiency of shale gas production for oil and gas majors.

The company will illustrate how its Helios DAS system can improve operations for extraction and production of shale gas with real-time monitoring of hydraulic fracturing, production monitoring, well integrity testing and other life-of-well applications. It will also be providing insights into how the recent partnership with Interpretive Software Products (ISP) is helping optimise DAS deployments to maximise the value of the data that can be acquired via DAS during operations.

Comments

Chris Shannon, CEO of Fotech Solutions, commented: 鈥淪hale gas exploration has aroused significant safety and environmental concerns. It is only by increasing the amount of information available to well engineers that these concerns can be addressed. Therefore, bringing technology vendors and operators together at shows such as Shale Gas 91天堂原創 Europe is a vital for stimulating progress within the oil and gas industry.

鈥淏y simultaneously listening at every point in the well and monitoring real-time down hole fluid flow during fracturing operations, DAS can provide data and interpretative tools that have not been possible until now. This increased intelligence means DAS stands to significantly improve the efficiency, safety and environmental impact of shale gas production.鈥�

Helios DAS from Fotech converts an optical fibre, up to 40 km long, into the equivalent of tens of thousands of individual vibration sensors. Real-time detection of the vibrations caused by acoustic disturbance at each point along the fibre enables engineers to 鈥榲isualise鈥� and record what鈥檚 going on down hole with greater clarity than ever before. As such, Helios DAS provides data and interpretative tools that have not been possible until now to improve the efficiency of oil and gas exploration, production and delivery.
