Market Trends of Distributed Temperature Sensing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Distributed Temperature Sensing Market according to our research experts:
Distributed Temperature Sensing Technology to have Major Application in Oil & Gas Production
- The oil and gas segment is anticipated to hold to the largest market share in the forthcoming years. DTS technology has become an indispensable part of the oil & gas industry. The need to know the vertical thermal profile and the real-time temperature is growing, leading to the widespread use of DTS across petrochemical plants, drilling, pipelines, floating-roof tanks/fixed-roof tanks, and others.
- DTS systems assist in continuous, real-time downhole monitoring to optimize the operational and economic performance of assets. This enables reservoir engineers to understand the injection and production dynamics better and, accordingly, maximize production and improve recovery, subsequently leading to improved profits.
- The DTS market has developed rapidly over the years, and DTS measurements are an integral part of the Oil & Gas industry. Because of its secure and reliable use even in hostile environments (HT, HP, H2S, explosion protection area), an increase in the use of DTS measurements can be expected. DTS measurements can be used in a wide range of applications, such as oil wells installation, monitoring pressure vessels, and monitoring for leaks in gas pipelines.
- The progress of unconventional resources, such as heavy oil, shale gas, and oil sands, has been growing in line with the rise in global energy demand. For instance, Yokogawa has developed the DTSX200 distributed temperature sensor (DTS) to facilitate the efficient recovery of unconventional resources by monitoring temperature distribution underground, thus improving the efficiency of natural resource production.
- An example is the application of DTS for gas lift performance monitoring in oil producers by measuring the thermal effects from the flow of lift gas through the valves into the production tubing to determine the active, inactive, and possibly leaking valves, and, also, the unloading depth.
