Fotech delivers breakthrough in DAS-based seismic imaging at greater well depths

Technology

Fotech, a UK-based developer of Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS) solutions for the oil and gas sector, has launched its new Helios Quasar solution to improve downhole imaging capabilities

Helios Quasar enables operators to benefit from:

-Improved Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) and seismic data acquisition

-Enhanced production monitoring

-Clearer identification of well integrity issues

Combining Fotech’s phase-coherent Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS) technology with enhanced backscatter fibres, Helios Quasar delivers the best possible sensitivity, resolution and signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) – enabling high-quality seismic imaging at greater well depths and the acquisition of finer-grain data for fluid and sand production.

The developer stated that cutting edge photonics and advanced AI systems enable Helios Quasar to deliver unrivalled performance and imaging – providing even more meaningful seismic and microseismic data. It also delivers dynamic real-time information to operatives in deeper and horizontal wells.

Chris Shannon, CEO of Fotech Solutions, said, “Optimised for upstream operations and utilising specially-designed fibres, the Helios Quasar solution delivers enhanced performance for in-well monitoring and reservoir management. Gathering intelligence on your downhole assets has never been more straightforward.”
