Fiber Optic sensors are well suited for and becoming commonly used in the oil industry. They are currently being used for monitoring the ocean floor, the riser and across the platform. They are designed for use in these harsh environments. They are excellent tools for monitoring equipment, pipelines, ships, refineries and storage facilities. They provide real-time data and can be monitored on site or remotely. The sensors require no power to operate and the equipment is tested and rated for use in explosive environments. Single systems can be designed to monitor multiple application simultaneously such as equipment wear, operational efficiency, leak detection and security. Multiple sensors can be installed on a single fiber and networked into one piece of monitoring equipment
