In the dynamic field of Oil & Gas, our specialized Fiber in Metal Tubes (FIMTs) are instrumental in advancing fiber optic solutions for well completions and interventions. These FIMTs provide a durable and reliable medium for high-tech fiber optic sensing, essential for real-time monitoring and data acquisition in complex operations.
Fiber optic technology provides durable and reliable real-time monitoring and data acquisition for oil and gas operations. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) enables fracture mapping and fluid movement analysis in harsh downhole conditions.
Integrating fiber optics boosts the precision and efficiency of well interventions like Slickline and Coiled Tubing. This advanced monitoring enhances tasks such as scale removal and artificial lift, leading to safer and more effective processes.
Fiber optic systems offer continuous pipeline monitoring for early leak detection and external threat identification. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) pinpoints changes in temperature, noise, and vibration, crucial for maintaining pipeline integrity and environmental safety.
Fiber optics are used in downhole communication, hydraulic fracturing monitoring, and temperature sensing within the oil and gas industry. These technologies provide key insights for informed operational decisions and enhance overall efficiency through high-speed data transmission.

Well Intervention involves various techniques aimed at managing and enhancing well performance. Common methods include Slickline, Coiled Tubing, and Hydraulic Workover. These techniques are used for tasks like scale removal, artificial lift, well stimulations, and addressing mechanical failures. The goal is to maximize production efficiency and extend the life of the well.
Slickline is a thin cable used for deploying tools and equipment down into an oil or gas well for various tasks, including well diagnostics, plugging, pressure and temperature measurement, and sampling. It’s essential for routine maintenance and data gathering to ensure efficient well operations.
Coiled Tubing (CT) is a continuous length of steel or composite tubing used for interventions in oil and gas wells. Unlike Slickline, which is non-rigid, Coiled Tubing can pump fluids into the well and is capable of rotary drilling actions. CT is used for more complex operations such as drilling, fracturing, and scale removal due to its ability to apply hydraulic power.
FIMTs are designed with materials specifically chosen for their corrosion resistance to environments containing hydrogen sulfide. The metal tubes, often made from stainless steel or specially alloyed materials, provide excellent protection for the optical fibers against the harsh chemical interactions found in sour environments.
Yes, we offer customization options for FIMTs to match the specific requirements of operations in sour environments. This includes selecting the most appropriate corrosion-resistant materials and designing the FIMTs to meet the particular challenges of each application.
For applications in sour environments, FIMTs typically utilize corrosion-resistant alloys such as stainless steel 316L, Alloy 825, or Alloy 625. These materials are known for their high resistance to a wide range of corrosive conditions, including those found in sour oil and gas fields.
