Real-time completion monitoring using distributed acoustic sensing

A system for actuating a well tool comprising:

• a well bore comprising:
• a concentric tubing string and well casing;
• one or more tools downhole at the distal end of the tubing string;
• a Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) fiber along the length of the well casing;
• and
• a DAS interrogator at the proximal end of the DAS fiber;
• the DAS interrogator configured to collect data from the DAS fiber;
• a data processor for receiving DAS interrogator data said data processor configured to transmit raw DAS interrogator data to a data storage and a data curation;
• the data curation configured to curate fiber data and calculate result data;
• the data storage configured to receive raw DAS interrogator data, curated fiber data and calculated result data;
• an analytics engine configured to analyze raw DAS interrogator data, curated fiber data and calculated result data, said analytics engine generating graphical displays, alerts, and operational parameters;
• and
• an end user dashboard configured to display one or more items selected from raw DAS interrogator data, curated fiber data, calculated results, graphical displays, alerts, and operational parameters.

A method for monitoring completion in an instrumented well comprising:

• providing an instrumented well bore, said instrumented well bore comprising a well casing with a Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) fiber along the length of the well casing, and a DAS interrogator at the proximal end of the DAS fiber;
• initiating the DAS interrogator to collect data from the DAS fiber;
• performing one or more completion activities;
• generating raw fiber data from said DAS interrogator on the instrumented well bore;
• receiving raw fiber data in a real-time processing unit;
• transmitting raw fiber data to a cloud storage facility and a data curation processor;
• processing the raw fiber data to generate a curated fiber data and calculated results;
• transmitting the curated data and calculated results to the cloud storage facility;
• generating tracking results for the completion activity in real-time;
• and
• adjusting one or more well parameters based on the tracking results.
