Two key marine borehole seismic field trials using fiber-optic DAS technology were recently executed. The first field trial was conducted by BP in a Trinidad Mahogany production well using standard fiber to pressure/temperature (P/T) sensors. The second field trial was conducted by Shell and was acquired simultaneously in two injector wells at the Mars Field, located in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, with BP as a co-owner. Successful imaging results from the two trials demonstrate many potential applications of DAS technology.
