Down Well Applications

Distributed temperature sensing is applied to down-hole applications where high spatial and temporal resolutions are needed to study hydrogeological processes.

Both passive (un-heated) and active (heated) DTS technology is utilized to study groundwater flow, cross-screen and well in-flows, and substrate thermal properties.  DTS is particularly suited for deep well analysis since it provides data simultaneously over the full length of the borehole at sub-meter resolution, offering more detailed and accurate understanding of geologic formations and fluid movement within the subsurface.

SelkerMetrics has developed a patented actively heated “dotted line” cable that measures flows within a well at hundreds of locations simultaneously for thousands of feet of well length.
