OptaSense fiber-optic sensing technology provides key insights that allow you to optimize fracture program designs and mitigate operational issues while completing the well.

OptaSense offers a sophisticated suite of production monitoring services tailored for the oilfield sector, leveraging cutting-edge fiber optic technology. The company's production profiling capabilities utilize optical fibers affixed to wellbore casings or tubing to provide in-depth, real-time insights into flow patterns, with non-intrusive data acquisition that eliminates the need for production shutdowns. These services allow for the comprehensive visualization of inflow and axial flow along portions of the wellbore. OptaSense excels in wellbore diagnostics, using broad-spectrum fiber-optic measurements for monitoring devices like inflow control valves, effectively facilitating real-time signature extraction and analysis. Additionally, their artificial lift optimization service gathers detailed data across the well span to increase production rates, allowing for the precise identification and rectification of malfunctioning components. High-resolution leak detection, geothermal monitoring, and subsea monitoring further extend OptaSense's expertise in ensuring asset integrity and operational efficiency.

OptaSense offers a comprehensive suite of services utilizing Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology for reservoir monitoring and seismic profiling. Their services include Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) with a focus on enhancing reservoir characterization and understanding subsurface dynamics. OptaSense systems employ permanently installed fiber-optic cables that allow for continuous 2D and 3D seismic data acquisition, resulting in minimal production interruptions and reduced rig time. Their technology supports thorough reservoir analysis, including time-lapse imaging, enabling operators to accurately evaluate production effects such as injection, compaction, and field expansion prospects. In addition to reservoir monitoring, OptaSense provides solutions for induced seismicity monitoring in geothermal wells and carbon capture applications, utilizing high-sensitivity systems for real-time microseismic event detection. The integration of DAS with conventional seismic surveys enhances the imaging capabilities, ensuring precise data for improved operational decision-making.

Luna Innovations has introduced the OptaSense LIVE Monitoring Solution, designed for the oilfield services sector. This advanced technology offers real-time data acquisition capabilities critical for making informed decisions at the wellsite. By providing instantaneous and processed data, OptaSense eliminates delays typical in traditional data acquisition, which can take weeks. The system's capabilities extend across several applications, including production profiling, injection profiling, leak detection, crosswell strain monitoring, microseismic monitoring, and hydraulic fracture monitoring. Using optical fibers clamped to the casing or within production tubing, the solution provides continuous, non-intrusive data collection. This technology not only reduces operational costs but also enhances efficiency by improving monitoring accuracy and delivering decision-ready insights. Overall, OptaSense LIVE Monitoring offers a comprehensive approach to optimize production and ensure wellsite safety and efficiency.
