Abstract
A High Performance Fiber Optic Seismic Sensor System Abstract We are introducing a new fiber optic sensor system implemented as a Fiber Optic Seismic Sensor (FOSS)™ for geophysical imaging and monitoring. We are presenting the design and experimental test results for the fiber optic sensor and compare its performance with regular exploration geophones and high performance accelerometers. We are demonstrating that the new Fiber Optic Seismic Sensor (FOSS)™ has a significantly better performance than the current state of the art coil geophones and accelerometers in terms of noise floor, sensitivity, frequency response and high temperature performance. We are also presenting the deployment system that makes it possible to deploy 1,000 (one thousand) downhole 3C seismic sensors in both vertical and horizontal boreholes.
