Distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) using fiber optic cables is an emerging acquisition technology for O&G industry. It offers the advantage of improving seismic acquisition by massive monitoring of seismic waves at reduced cost. In this paper we show that, as a result of the dense spatial distribution of recording points along the optic cable, DAS can provide two field components in the axial direction, even when using a single one-dimensional line. These signal pairs consist of dual components, which are related to strain and particle velocity fields at a given recording location. We show with real examples where the data can be combined to provide separation of up- and down-going wavefields. The ratio of the dual components provides information on local slowness properties in the formation.

Abstract

Distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) using fiber optic cables is an emerging acquisition technology for O&G industry. It offers the advantage of improving seismic acquisition by massive monitoring of seismic waves at reduced cost. In this paper we show that, as a result of the dense spatial distribution of recording points along the optic cable, DAS can provide two field components in the axial direction, even when using a single one-dimensional line. These signal pairs consist of dual components, which are related to strain and particle velocity fields at a given recording location. We show with real examples where the data can be combined to provide separation of up- and down-going wavefields. The ratio of the dual components provides information on local slowness properties in the formation.
