One of the key steps in the data preparation was to align the downhole sensor data spatially and temporally. As summarized in Table 1, DAS, DTS, and the pressure gauges had sampling times of 10 s, 12 s, and 1 s, respectively. The data analyzed in this study was obtained from two-phase (nitrogen gas and water) flow experiments conducted in a 5163-ft deep test-well located in the Petroleum Engineering Research and Technology Transfer (PERTT) lab facility at LSU (Fig.

Fiber optic technology is revolutionizing the field of remote sensing, offering unprecedented capabilities for data collection and transmission. At its core, fiber optics leverage the principle of transmitting light through thin strands of glass or plastic fibers. In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures. Optical fiber sensor networks represent a significant improvement over traditional sensors networks ensuring a wide range of application areas such as environmental, safety and security monitoring. The deep integration of communication and sensing technology in fiber-optic systems has been highly sought after in recent years, with the aim of rapid and cost-effective large-scale upgrading of existing communication cables in order to monitor ocean activities.
