Clarion™ Optical In-Well Seismic System

Clarion is an all-optical seismic sensing system that is installed during the completion phase and remains in place in the wellbore throughout the life of the well. This “always on” high-quality system enables production optimization and enhanced reservoir management by making high-resolution (Clear) and on-demand (Now) reservoir imaging possible through the use of high performance optical instrumentation and miniature optical sensors. Clarion was specifically designed for hostile wellbore environments.

The system enables reliable permanent, in-well seismic applications including both active and passive monitoring. Clarion’s sensors decrease uncertainty by providing consistent, unchanging reference points in the subsurface and eliminate repeatability errors that frequently result from redeployment of temporary sensors. The optical seismic sensors achieve high sensitivity, high bandwidth and enormous dynamic range without the need for complex downhole signal conditioning, amplification and filtering typically required in most electronic sensor arrays.

Onshore and offshore systems are available for safe and easy deployment. Clarion readily combines with intelligent well components in most wellbore completions, from the simple to the complex.
