Real-time fiber-optic interpretation and analysis
See clearly. Act confidently.
Challenge
Fiber-optic sensing offers tremendous potential—but unlocking it hasn’t been easy
Distributed fiber-optic monitoring provides unmatched visibility into the reservoir.
Yet in many operations, its value remains out of reach. That’s because operators face four key challenges:
- limited access to reservoir zones
- installation complexity
- massive data volumes
- time-consuming interpretation and analysis required to make sense of it all.
Solution
SLB removes these barriers to well and reservoir surveillance—end to end
A unified digital and hardware offering, Optiq™ fiber-optic solutions, enables you to extract meaningful production intelligence from fiber-optic systems—quickly, continuously, and reliably.
At the heart of this system is Optiq real-time (RT) fiber-optic interpretation and analysis, which transforms raw distributed temperature, acoustic and strain sensing (DTS, DAS, and DSS) data into operational clarity—automatically, at the edge. The result? Faster visibility into production behavior, injection effectiveness, and well integrity across the full length of the wellbore.
Automated Optiq RT interpretation and analysis workflows available today include
- multiphase production profiling
- injection profiling for water, gas, or CCS injectors
- automated leak detection for casing, tubing, and gas lift valves.
Continuous monitoring across the reservoir
Gain uninterrupted insight across the wellbore, including horizontal and deviated sections, with full fiber coverage supported by our deployment technologies.
Real-time visibility without the wait
Interpret and analyze fiber-optic data as it’s captured, using edge automation that eliminates delays and manual interpretation workflows. Understand flow behavior, injection performance, and well integrity in real time.
Faster, more confident decisions and lower risk
Reduce uncertainty and operational risk with clear production intelligence that enables immediate response to changes in well conditions.
Simplified workflows, scalable architecture
Free up your teams by replacing time-intensive workflows with automated diagnostics and alarms. Optiq RT analysis scales across permanent and temporary installations—onshore and offshore.
Enable fiber-optic monitoring where it matters most—whether in oil and gas, geothermal, or CCS wells
To ensure full coverage of the reservoir, even in the most complex completions, SLB provides a portfolio of enabling technologies that simplify optical fiber deployment and maximize data integrity.
Multitrip Deployment systems
Control Line Wet-Mate (CLWM) connector
Enables pumped fiber deployment without splicing across multitrip completion junctions—even in gravel-packed wells—increasing reliability and reducing intervention time.
Electris™ downhole fiber-optic wet-mate connector
Seamlessly reestablishes fiber-optic connectivity to the lower completion after upper completion workovers, including in gravel-pack, frac-pack, and stand-alone screen completions.
Fiber-Optic Cables
Optoelectric permanent downhole cable
Combines an electric conductor with fiber-optic lines in a single 1/4-in cable—supporting both power delivery and data acquisition.
Permanent fiber-optic cable
Provides robust DTS, DAS, and DSS transmission—even in HPHT, SAGD, and geothermal wells—using field-proven tube-in-tube construction.
Surface interface
Hybrid wellhead outlet
Securely terminates optical fiber and electrical pathways at surface—even in explosive or hazardous environments—supporting safer, compliant operations.
