Insight Fiber Optic Downhole Tool

PRODUCT DETAILS

Insight features three-component, all-optical downhole shuttles, specializing in multi-level, real-time, continuous, high-definition seismic acquisition.

Features

• Passive, all-optical downhole sensor network – no electronics downhole.
• Years-long operational lifetime @ 150 °C.
• 3-each high dynamic range optical accelerometers in each shuttle.
• Low noise, linear point sensing enables accurate recording of low-amplitude microseismic events.
• Slim hole shuttle 2.50-inch OD – less than 63 mm.
• Operates in any orientation.
• Solid-machined shuttle body minimizes mechanical resonance.
• High-resolution and high-frequency recording.
• Direct connection sub arrays, armored wireline.
• Magnetic and bow-spring clamps available.
• Supports wireline tools below the array (Gamma, CCL, Well Tractor).
• Distance between shuttles from meters to kilometers.
• Maximum temperature rating 150°C.
• Maximum pressure rating 20,000 psi.
• Capable of > 100 shuttle levels per well deployment.
• Compact, modular topside interrogator.
