Fiber-Optic Sensing for Field Development, Asset Integrity & Optimization - 24 -25th March 2026

Improvements in Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing systems (DFOS) have broadened monitoring capabilities by providing downhole flow information for production allocation, injection conformance, and stimulation effectiveness, as well as provided time-lapse seismic measurements to understand reservoir fluid saturation and geomechanical changes, and protecting downhole mechanics and the environment with critical well integrity information.

This evolution of these optical sensing systems (fibers, cables, sensors, deployment methods, data processing, and interpretation technologies) has yielded astoundingly better and novel quantitative well and reservoir monitoring results, with much of the evolving technology being transitioned to support low-carbon energy development and energy storage. These improvements have returned significant value at early project stages as well as throughout the asset lifetime.

This workshop will address fiber-optic monitoring technology advances used to optimize reservoir and field development and operations, with a focus on field case studies highlighting the value delivered in various areas, including

• CCUS and green/renewable energy applications
• Subsea and other offshore well and reservoir monitoring
• Well integrity
• Stimulation and intervention optimization
• Downhole flow quantification
• Seismic and reservoir mechanics applications

This workshop will be of interest to multiple disciplines, including reservoir engineering, production engineering, well engineering, geology, and geophysics. Multiple networking opportunities are included in the schedule.

Sponsorship Opportunities.
