The Trondheim SPE Section was founded in 1991. We have not yet determined when the first website was published, but a meeting announcement from 1995 attests that the website for sure was up and running then.
Dennis Dria, will be the Distinguished Lecturer for the 20th September gathering.
Topic:
E&P Applications of Fiber-Optic Technologies
...Fiber-optic technology, although only introduced for use in E&P well and reservoir monitoring in the last 10 years, has blossomed into a highly reliable set of tools that frequently offer monitoring capability not obtainable with traditional sensors, which are either permanently installed or run as logging tools or via other intervention methods. This presentation will provide an overview of optical sensing techniques and sensors such as distributed temperature sensing (DTS), optical pressure gauges, distributed strain measurement for integrity monitoring and distributed acoustic sensing. Along with this brief introduction to different fiber-optic measurement technology, a case will be made for the application of these in the E&P industry, and examples will be provided to demonstrate their value.
