Oil and gas well optimisation and reservoir performance improvement

Subsea and downhole analytical monitoring is heavily improved by LIOS TECHNOLOGYs LINEAR OPTICAL TEMPERATURE MEASURING equipment which is presented at the MIE forum 2004.

COLOGNE, GERMANY (PRWEB) February 8, 2004 --LIOS Technology GmbH - a member of the Danish NKT group - has developed an innovative technique for distributed temperature measurement based on the optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR). This unique technique opens a wide range of important prospects in the upstream oil and gas industry for downhole monitoring applications by providing valuable information for well optimisation and improvements in reservoir performance.

MIE 2004, a forum to explore multilateral technology, intelligent completions, and expandable tubulars - the three key technologies in the upstream oil and gas industry - will be held February 16-18, 2004 at the Marriott Woodlands Waterway Conference Center, Texas, USA. The forum will highlight the latest innovations in these three distinct technologies as well as applications in which they were combined. LIOS Technology seizes this opportunity to present its sophisticated fiber optic sensing technology for downhole monitoring applications.

LIOS Technology is the global leader in the development and supply of state of the art frequency domain based OTS systems. The LIOS Technology OTS product line comprises a range of real-time, multi-mode fiber optic based linear temperature measuring devices with a measuring range up to 4km with spatial resolutions of down to 0.5m. The system OTS100 was successfully introduced under the product name FibroLaser II as a safety system for detecting fires in tunnels, in which normal fire alarms are not able to work satisfactorily due to the extreme environmental conditions. In cooperation with Siemens Fire Safety world wide, the OTS system has been successfully installed in some 1000 kilometers of road and rail tunnels with some 500 OTS evaluation units. As the pioneering force LIOS Technology has established a new standard in modern fire detection.
