  • Patent number: 7342217
    Abstract: A system for the measurement and surface data acquisition for optical fiber sensors containing Bragg gratings for the sensing of physical parameters originated from a set of oil wells, the system including: an optical system for signal processing, the signals being originated from physical parameters sensors installed in one single or in a set of oil and/or gas wells and resulting from the reflected wavelength in response to a perturbation of the physical parameter under measurement; an electronic system for signal processing for converting the optical intensity signals originated from the optical system into electrical signals with the aid of detectors that optimize the signal/noise ratio; and an optical switcher having an interface between a) and b), for expanding the number of monitored oil wells.
