FibreDip™

Sensornet's revolutionary FibreDip™ 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 FibreDip™ 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 FibreDip™ has been successfully installed by Sensornet in Alberta, Canada and Oman.

Vertical wells that benefit from Sensornet’s FibreDip™ monitoring solution include

  • Thermal observation wells
  • Limited rig / hoist availability / accessibility
  • Remote well locations

The FibreDip™ 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 FibreDip™ system at any time, without delay to operations. The FibreDip™ 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 FibreDip™ system can be combined with a pressure gauge upon request.

Benefits of FibreDip

The self-supporting FibreDip™ 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
