Claim 13:
14. A method of optimizing a fracturing treatment using a sensing system, the method comprising:
deploying a distributed fiber optic cable connected with the sensing system in one or more subterranean wells, wherein the subterranean wells comprise monitoring wells or hydraulic fracturing wells;
determining a preliminary gauge length of the sensing system based on preliminary strain threshold range;
receiving reflected strain signals associated with a strain source along the fiber optic cable;
detecting a current strain threshold range of the reflected strain signals associated with the strain source;
determining whether the current strain threshold range has changed from the preliminary strain threshold range; and
adjusting the gauge length for at least a portion of the optical fiber within a pre-defined limit of the sensing system in response to the determination that current strain threshold range has changed from the preliminary strain threshold range.
