Harnessing Light for Multidomain Measurements with Optiq Fiber-Optic Solutions

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.

Innovative Solutions for Oil and Gas Well Completions with DrillPlan by Schlumberger

Challenges in Well Construction Design and Operations

The complexity and challenges in well construction design and operations have significantly increased due to factors such as well trajectory complexity, depth, pressure, temperature, and cost. Particularly in unconventional shale wells with long horizontal laterals, liner drilling, extended reach wells, and both cemented and uncemented liners, the need for high-performance liner hanger systems is crucial. These systems must be capable of rotating to reach total depth, featuring robust setting mechanisms tolerant of higher solids content. Additionally, liner top packers with sealing elements that can withstand the run-in-hole process, circulating and cementing at higher rates to lift and mix the mud around the liner while controlling the equivalent circulating density (ECD) are essential. This ensures the prevention of approaching fracture gradient and damaging the formation. Furthermore, maintaining seal integrity during high-pressure fracturing operations in the case of some uncemented liner applications, and years of pressure and thermal cycling during production adds another layer of complexity.
