Distributed temperature log

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001127

A logging technique that measures temperature along the entire length of an optical fiber cable permanently installed in a wellbore. It provides a continuous temperature profile over time, allowing for the detection of fluid movement, leaks, and changes in reservoir conditions. This method offers high spatial resolution and real-time monitoring capabilities.
