High capabilities of DAS sensors to withstand critical environmental conditions are expected to propel the global distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) market growth over the forecast period

Distributed acoustic sensors can detect changes at number of intervals over long distances, which is suitable for functions that include remote places and harsh environments. Such conditions are quite common in petroleum industry and oilfield applications. Furthermore, DAS sensors are increasingly being adopted in number of companies to determine the flow characteristics and associated physical properties inside pipe and near the wellbore. This high adoption is due to confluence of technological advancements in the upstream industry, which have enhanced durability and reliability of downhole fiber-optics systems. Furthermore, technological developments in material science industry such as advancements in glass chemistry yielding strong fiber cables and improvements in computer processing speed and better algorithms making data interpretation easier and faster, are expected to support the global distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) market growth in the near future.

Market Dynamics- Restraints

Constantly depreciating oil prices is expected to restrain growth of the global distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) market

The oil & gas industry has been using distributed optic fiber sensing for a long time for monitoring temperature and pressure. Growing demand for sensing in critical environments and consequent development of robust optic fiber technology has significantly benefited the oil & gas industry. Moreover, these sensing systems provide various benefits throughout the life of well, i.e. from exploration to drilling and completion, and production and reservoir management. However, the recent past has witness negative impact of adoption of distributed optical fiber sensing technology on oil prices. This decline in oil process is owing to rise in oil production and sluggish consumer demand combined with oversupply leading petroleum exporting countries. For instance, the U.S. has doubled its domestic oil production, Saudi Arabia oil companies are competing in Asian markets, oil exports from Canada and Iraq are also rising, and Russia is continuously pumping oil despite the economic crisis in the country.

Low signal-to-noise ratio of DAS sensors is expected to hinder the global distributed sensing (DAS) market growth over the forecast period

The major challenge during the implementation of DAS sensors is the data acquired from DAS has more noise as compared to traditional sensing technologies such as geophones. This noise is generated by interrogator unit, while the time variant optical noise occurs equally on all receivers and the spike-like noise. This noise makes the calibration of devices difficult and detection of weak signals, especially in cases of microseismic applications, is a challenge. Furthermore, in order to ease the limitations associated with removing the time variant noise generated from temperature fluctuations in the well and optical noise, technologies such as median filter, band-pass filter, and stacking of multiple fiber measurements have been developed.

Market Opportunities

Growing adoption in energy and power sector to present lucrative business opportunity

DAS technology can be used in power and energy sector to provide additional capabilities in terms of security and reliability. DAS is vital technology for power and energy sectors as they considered as assets of critical national security. Innovative features such as inherent reliability and passive nature of fiber optic based acoustic sensing is expected to offer a significant platform for this technology in various applications. These include effective intervention and intrusion monitoring. For instance, the latest and the most advanced DAS technologies can be implemented through existing fiber optics infrastructure, making it suitable for retrofit applications.

Constant developments in offshore infrastructure are expected to pose lucrative business opportunity

Ongoing developments at offshore infrastructure are expected to boost the demand for of oil & gas industry along with growth of renewable energy regeneration in offshore locations. For instance, in June 2016, OptaSense along with its partner Optilan, obtained the combined leak detection and security contract from ABB for the delivery of the control infrastructure for the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) project. The 1,850km long TANAP natural gas pipeline runs from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey to Europe. The project is expected to mark a significant turning point in the adoption of fiber sensing technologies globally, with delivery of security and leak detection from a single fiber system.
