Reservoir monitoring
Reservoir surveillance is essential for maximizing productivity and ensuring the safety of extraction operations. Continuous and accurate monitoring allows for quick detection of anomalies, optimization of resource exploitation, and minimization of risks associated with the internal dynamics of the reservoir. By managing the flow and behavior of the reservoirs, it is possible to prevent disruptions and extend the lifespan of facilities while maximizing their output.
FOWell is the FEBUS Optics solution based on distributed fiber optic sensing technology to characterize and monitor reservoir behavior continuously and in real-time.
CONTINUOUS SURVEILLANCE AND DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC SENSING
Based on Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing technologies (DAS, DTS), our FOWell solution offers significant advantages over traditional methods:
- continuous, real-time monitoring: immediate access to data for quick decision-making
- data accuracy: measurements are taken at each point along the fiber with our high-performance interrogators, and data is visualized on our dedicated software solution
- easy deployment without production disruption: our measurement devices connect at one end of the fiber.
The FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) and FEBUS T1-R (DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensing) technologies can be combined to provide an in-depth analysis of reservoir systems through precise data interpretation across production zones.
PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION WITH FOWELL
FOWell is the advanced solution developed by FEBUS Optics for reservoir monitoring.
By combining the high-performance of the FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) and FEBUS T1-R (DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensing) with the dedicated FOWell Suite software, our solution enables:
- analysis of reservoir dynamics to determine production and injection profiles
- measurement of flow integrity at perforations (flow profiling), to identify preferential production or injection zones
- analysis of "warm-back" effects, assessing the time it takes for thermal equilibrium to return after hot or cold water injection
- production decline analysis at perforation cluster level
- surveillance of reservoir behavior during its operation.
Data acquired offshore or onshore provides:
- real-time information
- distributed measurements (the number of measurement points and their intervals are customizable)
- on-site interpretation during the operation phase
- monitoring throughout the entire reservoir exploitation period.

SEISMIC ON WELL
Since reservoir exploitation can lead to environement hazards, FOWell enables seismic surveillance of the infrastructure. This reduces risks to the environment and surrounding populations.
Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) and 3D seismic surveys benefit from the state-of-the-art sensitivity of the FEBUS 1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing).
