Title: Downhole acoustic wave sensing with optical fiber
Inventor: TORU IKEGAMI
IPC: G01V1/52
Filed: 2015-11-27
Abstract: A technique facilitates geophysical exploration of a borehole and surrounding formation by employing a downhole tool 20 (also known as a well tool) wrapped with an optical fibre 24. Additionally, an orientation sensor (figure 1, 26) is coupled to the tool 20 and is operable to provide data regarding orientation of the tool. A processing system, which may include an optical interrogation system 30, cooperates with the optical fibre and with the orientation sensor to obtain acoustic data. The processing system collects tool orientation data and also strain data obtained from a location along the wrapped optical fibre and combines this data to obtain oriented acoustic data.

Preferably the second state is generated based on the Gramian matrix and its eigenvalues, wherein the second size is equal to the number of eigenvalues greater than a specified threshold. By considering only those states associated with an eigenvalue greater than some threshold, the balanced state space representation of the HRTF may be truncated to provide an approximate HRTF that approximates the original HRTF very well while reducing the amount of computation required by as much as 90%.
