Summary:Abstract With an increase in the accuracy of fiber-optic sensors, the possibility of their use in various fields is being formed. In this article, the authors present their own experience in the implementation of fiber-optic technologies in geophysical surveys of wells, indicate current problems and prospects for the development of this direction in the region of activity. Since 2014, LLC “PITC Geofizika” has been actively developing the direction of fiber-optic temperature measurement systems. To date, these are measurements in more than 40 wells (15 wells are being measured at present time). As a result, we can say that today there is already a certain niche in the basket of the geophysical sector, confidently occupied with fiber-optic sensors technologies, but the prospects for the development of this technology are significant and are fully revealed only in the process of work. However, it is worth approaching the implementation of this method only with a complete understanding of the processes occurring in the well.
