Rugged Fiber Optic Downhole Sensor for Monitoring CO2 in Brine
Abstract – Downhole Fluids Sensor (DFS)
Richard T. Wainner, Nicholas F. Aubut, Joy G. Stafford, and Michael B. Frish
Alpha Prototype (AP) Lab Tests
Beta Prototype (BP) Field Tests
Software Lock-in Simulation withAP-Measured Noise Levels Added
• 2f/1f ratio is independent of total light returned– 2f is proportional to analyte-induced absorption
(either CO2 or H2O)– Both 2f and 1f are proportional to total laser light returned
• Across the wavelength range being scanned, the waterabsorption feature has a curvature that also (like CO2)generates a 2f signal contribution, along with the very strongtotal (dc) signal attenuation
• Goal: Detect 3x10-4 scale (0.1%) CO2 signature in thepresence of 0.18 H2O signature
