Oil and gas production is becoming more complex. Deep reservoirs, high water cut, low resource density, frequent geological disturbances, increased water or CO₂ injection — these challenges demand a new approach to downhole monitoring. For producing wells, uneven production along the well section, early gas or water breakthrough, and rapid water-cut increase can directly reduce […]

A recent article in Science magazine has sent ripples through both the geoscience and security communities. Researchers have demonstrated that the same fiber optic cables used to detect earthquakes and monitor infrastructure can also pick up — and transcribe — nearby human speech using AI. Any company working in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) needs […]
