Title: Detecting seismic events over a wide area using optical fibres in an existing telecommunications infrastructure
Inventor: HILL DAVID JOHN
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2009-09-18
Abstract: A method for monitoring for seismic events involves interrogating an optic fibre 104a, 104b which forms part of a bundle of fibres 203a, 203b in an existing communications infrastructure to provide distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). The signals provided by the distributed sensing provide measurements at each of a plurality of discrete portions along the fibre, which may be many tens of kilometres in length. Using a plurality of optical fibre distributed sensors allows the direction of propagation and the location of origin of P—waves to be determined. Warning or measurement and consequently prediction of seismic activity can be provided by collecting data over a wide area, without the need to deploy a correspondingly large fibre network. The method is suitable for protecting installations such as a power station or a pipeline.
