    摘要: A method for optimizing a seismic survey design includes obtaining a well trajectory, determining a depth range and a measurement interval for the seismic survey, determining an optimal seismic shot position for each receiver within the depth range using an inverse function, determining one or more potential seismic shot configurations that each include a number of seismic shots, a location for each of the number of seismic shots, and a power of each of the seismic shots, determining an estimate of a data quality for each of the determined one or more potential seismic shot configurations using an objective function, and determining an optimum seismic survey design based on the determined estimated data quality for each of the determined one or more potential seismic shot configurations, wherein the estimated data quality for the optimum seismic survey design is greater than a predetermined minimum threshold.

    摘要: Systems and methods for distributed acoustic sensing based on coherent Rayleigh scattering are disclosed herein. A system comprises a pulse generator, an optical fiber coupled to the pulse generator, an interferometer coupled to the optical fiber, a photodetector assembly coupled to the interferometer, and an information handling system, which activates two optical gain elements so as to vary the optical path length of the interferometer. A method comprises sending an optical pulse down an optical fiber, splitting backscattered light from the optical pulse into a first backscattered pulse and a second backscattered pulse, activating a first optical gain element and a second optical gain element, sending the first backscattered pulse into a first arm of an interferometer, sending the second backscattered pulse into a second arm of an interferometer, combining the first and second backscattered pulses to form an interferometric signal, and receiving the interferometric signal at a photodetector assembly.
