DFOS is revolutionizing geophysical data acquisition by providing a robust, continuous, high-resolution monitoring tool. Fiber-optic cables can now measure physical parameters such as strain and temperature without any modifications and with high spatial and temporal resolution. By leveraging the power of DFOS, geophysicists can gain an improved understanding of the subsurface, mitigate risks, and make informed operational decisions.

The workshop will delve into the latest advancements and innovative applications of Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing (DFOS) systems, which encompass Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), and Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS).

Key Focus Areas:
● DFOS Hardware and Instrumentation: To discuss the latest developments in DFOS acquisition and instrumentation, driving further advancements in the field.
● DAS-Based Seismic Imaging: To explore the cutting-edge use of DAS for surface and borehole seismic imaging. Simulations and imaging with non-straight fiber cables.
● DFOS for Reservoir and Production Monitoring: To understand how DFOS enables long-term monitoring of reservoir dynamics and production operations.
● Completion and Hydraulic Fracturing Evaluation: To learn how DFOS provides detailed insights into completion and hydraulic fracturing processes.
● Geothermal and CO2 Sequestration Applications: To discover the potential of DFOS in monitoring geothermal energy production and CO2 sequestration projects.
● Machine Learning and Signal Processing: To explore applying AI techniques to extract valuable information from DFOS data. Challenges and opportunities of managing, sharing, and compressing massive DAS datasets.
