Abstract:

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a novel technique with low cost, no production deferment, complete coverage and repeatability for seismic data acquisition in vertical seismic profile (VSP), hydraulic fracturing monitoring, well and reservoir surveillance and micro-seismic detection. In this paper, we give a review on the field applications of DAS and the corresponding pre-processing methods as well as the limitations that hinder its further applications in exploration and production. Finally, future developments for DAS are discussed, including the enhancement of S/N ratio, precise determination of receiver channels in depth, rapid processing of massive data and integrated interpretation of multi-mode optical fiber.

"My experiences in publishing a paper with Bentham Open is good. I must say that the speed of publication in The Open Petroleum Engineering Journal is very fast. It takes only two month for the pioneer reviewing process. The delay was caused by me. And what’s more, the publisher’s office is quite helpful. I guess they are dealing with thousands emails every week, but they process my request in a very short period of time."
