ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for use when measuring pressure in hydrocarbon wells. A sensor, an interferometric optical pressure transducer, at the end of a fibre optic line is illuminated by broadband light pulses. Measuring equipment output drives a display indicating the pressure at the sensor. The transducer is modelled by subjecting it to known pressures. The measuring equipment is modelled by applying test signals. The models are combined and a display output C is assumed. A mathematical model is used to calculate an estimation B of the actual output A from the sensor. B is compared with A and the value of C changed until the closest match is found between A and B. This value of C is taken as the output representing the pressure at the sensor. Different models and compensation factors allow for interchange of sensors and sensor types and measuring equipment and measuring equipment types.
