Abstract:

Aiming at the high precision and rapid measurement of the downhole temperature profile, a new kind of walking highprecision fiber grating temperature sensor was designed in this paper. The ultrafine stainless steel tube was used for pressure encapsulation. The theoretical simulation of the temperature response speed was carried out, and the impact of the downhole high pressure on the measurement accuracy was analyzed. The sensor with a diameter of 1.2 mm was demodulated by commercial highprecision demodulator. The results show that the resolution of the FBG temperature sensor is better than 0.01 oC, the linear range of the temperature reaches 175 oC, the response time is less than 108 ms, and the resistance to pressure is up to 100 MPa. This sensor can meet the needs of rapid measurement of the oil well temperature profile.

Key words: oilfield temperature measurement, temperature profile, rapid measurement, fiber grating
