Workshop Description
This inaugural Middle East workshop is intended to focus on the combined interests
and capabilities of E&P operators, service companies, and technology providers to
identify the true value of distributed fibre-optic measurements by sharing field examples
and well-characterised development projects.
Technical sessions addressing these challenges will cover topics such as production
and injection flow profile interpretation, hydraulic fracturing and matrix stimulation
diagnostics, evolving and enabling technologies and integrated interpretation models,
advances in field installation techniques, and management of system reliability.
Preference will be given to technical presentations which use field examples and
case studies to demonstrate the value of optical sensing systems using distributed
temperature sensing (DTS), distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), quasi-distributed (array
temperature, pressure, and strain) technology, and to address challenges associated
with quantitative interpretation methods, balancing the value of the information against
added risk, cost of installations and support infrastructure, exception-based and
advanced analytic processes, and sensor-to-desk data management.

SPE Distributed Fibre Optics Monitoring
Sponsorship Support
Sponsorship support helps offset the
cost of producing workshops and allows
SPE to keep the attendance price within
reach of operations-level individuals,
those who benefit most from these
technical workshops.
Sponsors benefit both directly and
indirectly by having their names
associated with a specific workshop.
While SPE prohibits any type of
commercialism within the conference
hall itself, the society recognises that
sponsoring companies offer valuable
information to attendees outside the
technical sessions.

1330–1500 hours Session 3: Integrity Monitoring
Session Chairs: Giles Powell, Schlumberger; Roger Duncan, Baker Hughes
Integrity monitoring has spawned and developed from more conventional deployments of fibre optic
distributed sensing. Arguably it is now the monitoring technology of choice, allowing for greater
understanding, spatial awareness, and in some cases a proactive measurement solution to avoid future
issues. This session will cover specific applications of fibre optic systems deployed to monitor integrity
in the E&P business.

monitoring, and discuss where fibre distributed sensing is headed. Real-time data management and
analysis versus addressing the challenges faced from operational aspects will be discussed for fields
such as seismic profiling (VSP), micro-seismic, advanced completions, and production monitoring.

0830–0900 hours Workshop Keynote Address Day 2
0900–1030 hours Session 5: Data Management/Visualisation
Session Chairs: Garth Naldrett, Tendeka;
Ridha Abid, Weatherford
The increasing complexity and functionality of in-well fibre sensor installations is
leading to a requirement to manage and display ever-increasing volumes of data.
This session will focus on case studies and new techniques for data gathering,
management, and visualisation for reservoir data from distributed sensors.
1030–1100 hours Coffee Break
1100–1230 hours Session 6: Unconventional Applications
Session Chairs: Ashraf Khateeb, Baker Hughes;
Mikko Jaaskelainen, Halliburton
The demand of energy will continue to grow requiring integrated unconventional
applications to overcome the challenges in realising the full value of assets. This
session will review case studies where fibre optic technologies are used to collect
data during completion, stimulation, production, and life of the well to increase value
to asset owners.
1230–1330 hours Luncheon
1330–1500 hours Session 7: System Reliability
Session Chairs: Ali Sheydayev, BP Exploration;
Steve Hirshblond, Shell
With application of in-well fibre optic technology on the rise, overall system reliability
and life cycle cost is fast becoming a key driver in acceptance and deployment of
these technologies. Overall speed of uptake will depend heavily on demonstrated
reliable performance over long periods of time. This session will focus on case
histories and technological advances where survival and longevity of the system,
inclusive of in-well fibre cable and surface acquisition and data delivery components
are of upmost importance.
1500–1530 hours Coffee Break
1530–1700 hours Session 8: Areal Reservoir Monitoring
Session Chairs: Gossen Bakker, Petroleum Development Oman;
Mikko Jaaskelainen, Halliburton
Areal surveillance plays a key role in assessing the effectiveness of drive mechanisms
and EOR processes. In-well fibre optic technologies applied in injectors, producers
and observation wells have emerged as surveillance tools in near-field and far-field
monitoring. This session will discuss the various fibre optic technologies that can be
used in areal reservoir monitoring.

SPE Training Course
Monday, 3 November 2014 | Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul | Turkey
In conjunction with the SPE Distributed Fibre Optics Monitoring
Training Course Title: Introduction to Fibre Optic Distributed Temperature, Acoustic, and
Chemical Sensing (DTS, DAS, & DCS)
Course Description
This one-day course is an introduction to the emerging fibre optic technologies of distributed temperature
sensing (DTS) as well as related distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and distributed chemical sensing (DCS).
This programme looks at how these technologies work, and their application to the oil and gas industry. Such
systems have been utilised in shallow steam injection wells as well as high-cost horizontal and multilateral
wells where re-entry with a logging tool is difficult, if not impossible. This class also includes an overview of
PLATO software for managing DTS data and computing flow, plus a hands-on demonstration of DTS hardware.
Topics include:
• How DTS, DAS, and DCS technologies work
• Typical well installations, hardware, and log recordings
• Factors affecting data accuracy, calibration, and quality
• Field applications and examples of DTS and DAS
• PLATO software for DTS data management and computation of flow profile
• DTS demonstration
Course Objectives
The science behind DTS and its applications are still emerging. If you have been following this technology and
would like to learn more, this course is for you.
Who Should Attend
This course is for petroleum engineers, geologists, and anyone else interested in learning more about DTS and
the latest advances in the technology.
Course Instructor
James J. Smolen has more than 40 years of experience in cased hole well logging, applications, related
research, and training. He began in the oil industry in 1970 with Schlumberger and since 1980, has been
an officer and director of Petroleum Computing, as well as an international consultant and trainer. He has
numerous publications to his credit, including the 1996 PennWell text, Cased Hole and Production Log
Evaluation. Smolen was a Distinguished Lecturer for SPE and SPWLA. He holds a BS from Northwestern
