A downhole optical sensing system can include an optical fiber positioned in the well, the optical fiber including multiple cores, and one of the cores having a Brillouin scattering coefficient which is different from another one of the cores. A method of sensing strain and temperature as distributed along an optical fiber can include measuring Brillouin scattering in a core of the optical fiber disposed in a well, and measuring Brillouin scattering in another core of the optical fiber disposed in the well, the optical fiber cores being exposed to a same strain and temperature distribution in the well.

A distance of a water flow path and a velocity of the water flow are calculated using data obtained from both a pulsed neutron sensor and distributed acoustic sensors. The two distance and velocity values are compared to obtain a first calculated distance and velocity. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using the Doppler data obtained from distributed Doppler sensors. The distance and velocity values are compared with the first calculated distance and first calculated velocity to obtain a second calculated distance and velocity values. The distance of the water flow path and the velocity of the water flow are calculated using temperature data obtained from distributed temperature sensors. The distance and velocity values are compared with the second calculated distance and velocity to determine a distance of a cement interface, and a velocity of a water flow therein.

An example system for noise removal in distributed acoustic sensing data may include a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data collection system and an information handling system coupled thereto. The information handling system may receive seismic information from the DAS data collection system. The seismic information may include seismic traces associated with a plurality of depths in the wellbore. The information handling system may also generate a noise pilot trace by stacking one or more of the seismic traces, and subtract the noise pilot trace from the seismic information received from the DAS data collection system.

A method for processing seismic data acquired using the same seismic survey setup over long periods of time includes acquiring sets of seismic data using the same seismic survey setup over multiple days, the sets being gathered as repeated seismic data. The method further includes estimating a time-variable wavelet corresponding to unwanted waves, and determining a propagation of the time-variable wavelet, which propagation is assumed to be constant in time, by solving an inverse problem using the repeated seismic data and the estimated time-variable wavelet. The method also includes extracting signal data by subtracting a convolution of the estimated time-variable wavelet and the propagation from the repeated seismic data.

Disclosed are systems and methods for processing broadband acoustic signals acquired by a plurality of acoustic sensors, using an array-signal-processing technique to compute fused-signal maps in the frequency domain for a plurality of frequency bins. In accordance with various embodiments, the fused-signal maps are combined across the frequency bins, with respective weightings that are based on eigenvalues of covariance matrices computed for the plurality of frequency bins. The combined maps can be used to locate an acoustic source in a wellbore.

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to measure compressional wave velocities in a geological formation surrounding a first well, to provide measured compressional wave velocity data, and to subsequently determine corrected compressional wave velocities for the first well. These corrected compressional wave velocities for the first well may be determined using a combination of the measured compressional wave velocity data and corrected compressional wave velocity data associated with one or more second wells. Predicted pore pressure data for the first well may be subsequently generated, using the corrected compressional wave velocities for the first well. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.
摘要:
An apparatus for performing a measurement of a downhole property includes an optical fiber having a first section that has a first set of fiber Bragg gratings with a first resonant wavelength inscribed therein and a second section that has a second set of fiber Bragg gratings with a second resonant wavelength different from the first resonant wavelength inscribed therein. The second section is in series with the first section. An optical interrogator emits a swept-wavelength frequency domain light signal having varying wavelength amplitude modulation into the optical fiber, receives a frequency domain return light signal, and transforms the frequency domain return signal into a time domain to determine a resonant wavelength shift of each fiber Bragg grating and the corresponding location of each interrogated fiber Bragg grating. A processor converts the resonant wavelength shift of each interrogated fiber Bragg grating into the downhole property measurement.
