Abstract
A deep water subsea tree completion having a distributed temperature sensing system. In a described embodiment, a method of installing an optical fiber in a well includes the steps of: conveying an optical fiber section into the well; and monitoring a light transmission quality of the optical fiber section while the section is being conveyed into the well.
Claims36
A method of installing an optical fiber in a well, the method comprising the steps of:
- conveying a first optical fiber section into the well;
- and
- monitoring a light transmission quality of the first optical fiber section while the first section is being conveyed into the well.
A method of installing an optical fiber in a well, the method comprising the steps of:
- conveying a first assembly at least partially into the well with a first optical fiber section attached to the first assembly, the first assembly being conveyed on a second assembly;
- monitoring a light transmission quality of the first optical fiber section during the conveying step by transmitting light through the first optical fiber section;
- and
- then disconnecting the first and second assemblies.
29-50. (canceled)
A method of gravel packing a wellbore of a well, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a completion assembly in the wellbore, the completion assembly including an optical fiber section;
- gravel packing the completion assembly in the wellbore;
- and
