Abstract:

Optical fibres have been available since the 1970s and are well known for their applications in telecommunications. Less well known are their abilities to perform measurements and to sense a wide range of physical parameters (sometimes with no electronic sensor equivalent). This talk will describe the fundamentals of optical fibres and their fabrication, and will then go on to review a number of measurement techniques based on fibre optic sensors, looking at how they are increasingly being deployed in a broad range of applications in the Oil & Gas industry.

Biography:
Andrew Strong is a Physicist (University of Bath, 1987), Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the IET and has been actively contributing to the design, development, application and international marketing of optical fibre sensors and systems since 1986. Andrew has thirteen patents granted and pending and is author/co-author of 14 papers at presented at international optical and pipeline conferences. He is a registered UK Expert (IEC SC86C WG2 Fibre Optic Sensors) and a Member of BSI Committee GEL/86/3 (Fibre Optic Sensors).

Society for Underwater Technology - This multi-disciplinary learned society brings together organizations and individuals with  common interests in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering. The SUT was founded in 1966 in London and has members from more than 40 countries including engineers, scientists, other professionals and students working in these areas.

The SUT was founded to promote the further understanding of the underwater environment  to encourage cross fertilization and dissemination of ideas, experience and information between workers in academic research, applied research and technology, industry and government development of techniques and tools to explore and study oceans, proper economic and sociological use of our resources in and beneath the oceans, further education of scientists and technologists to maintain high standards in marine science and technology.
