FibreDipTM
Sensornet's revolutionary FibreDipTM deployment method is a flexible well integrity monitoring solution of the entire thermal observation well without the need for tubing, or a service rig or a hoist. Sensornet’s FibreDipTM system is an extremely versatile Digital Monitoring solution. The easily deployed, self-supported system is used to understand the boundaries and communication layering of the steam front while condition monitoring the casing integrity of the surrounding production wells. To date FibreDipTM has been successfully installed by Sensornet in Alberta, Canada and Oman.
Vertical wells that benefit from Sensornet’s FibreDipTM monitoring solution include
- Thermal observation wells
- Limited rig / hoist availability / accessibility
- Remote well locations
The FibreDipTM system is an extremely effective, retro-fittable installation technique that eliminates the need for a tubing conveyed system. Once the completion is installed, the Sensornet team can install the FibreDipTM system at any time, without delay to operations. The FibreDipTM sensing cable is reeled into the well by itself using a sinker bar system in conjunction with a spooler unit and a sheave wheel (suspended on shear legs or wireline boom) and is a low-risk, quick installation method. Depending on customer requirement, the FibreDipTM system can be combined with a pressure gauge upon request.
Benefits of FibreDipTM
The self-supporting FibreDipTM system has a number of key advantages over a tubing conveyed system or periodic intervention by wireline temperature
log namely:
- Permanent installation that can be retrieved months or years later and installed elsewhere
- Continuous condition monitoring of thermal process and well integrity
- Deployed without the need for a workover rig or hoist at well site
- Retro-fit into existing completions
- Production tubing is not necessary
- System can be deployed in any hole size – either cased or open hole
- No tubing hanger or bypass ports required for the sensing cable
- Simple and fast, one-time sensing cable installation
- System is retrievable and can be redeployed in other wells
- No modification to existing wellheads – with no requirement for by-pass ports to be drilled
