Fiber Optic Sensor Industry Developments


In April 2022, According to a recent report, Schlumberger and Sintela agreed to co-develop new fiber-optic solutions in multiple industrial markets. Schlumberger will take responsibility for the market and delivery of the solutions in the energy with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and geothermal industries. Sintela delivers combined solutions to other industrial needs. The solutions will integrate intellectual property (IP) from Sintela's distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) portfolio with Opti Schlumberger's fiber-optic solutions IP. It will enable more straightforward and cost-efficient fiber-optic interrogator deployments and innovative digital workflow capabilities to improve the operational performance of Schlumberger's customers.


Yokogawa Electric and Otsuka Chemical merged to form Syncrest Inc. in March 2023. The motive of this partnership is to transform the middle-molecule pharmaceuticals market through research, development, and production in all areas.


Also, in May 2022, China National Petroleum Corporation included Fiber Bragg Grating pressure sensors that were coupled with AP Sensing’s up-to-the-minute Distributed Temperature Sensing solution. The technology was used at two different oilfield sites in three horizontal wells aimed at monitoring downhole conditions, evaluating casing integrity and detecting potential leaks behind the casing.


Again, in May 2022, China National Petroleum Corporation deployed AP Sensing’s distributed temperature sensing system (with fiber bragg grating sensors) on three horizontal wells spanning two well sites within an oilfield. This was done for the purpose of recording downhole conditions, checking the casing strength, as well as identifying possible communication between one reservoir and another via some crossflow behind a case.


Together with Schlumberger spearheading energy, CCS and geothermal markets, Sintela partnered in April 2022 with Opti Schlumberger to leverage both its DFOS technology and Opti Schlumberger's IP in fibre-optical solutions.


In May 2021, AP Sensing announced its launch of a distributed acoustic sensing system. Introducing this pioneer distributed acoustic sensing system enables AP Sensing to enhance asset monitoring technology with a system that continuously monitors such infrastructure systems like pipelines, power cables or trains instead of basic point sensor type ones.
