However, downhole DAS measurements can be affected by the deployment method of the fibre-optic cable. These effects were explored in a field trial in two wells (one vertical and one deviated) drilled at the Otway International Test Centre. The trial in the vertical well shows that (1) fibre-optic cables cemented behind the casing provide data of the highest quality due to the best coupling to the formation, and (2) tubing-conveyed cable shows only slightly weaker coupling, but the data quality can be severely degraded by source-generated noise. A cable loosely suspended in the deviated well provided data quality comparable to that of the cemented DAS cable. To better understand the nature of the observed effects, the field experiments were supplemented by numerical modelling with a 1.5D full wave reflectivity algorithm (3D wave propagation in a 1D model), where cement, casing and wellbore were represented by infinite vertical layers. The results show that (1) a cement layer has only a slight effect (&lt;5%) on the DAS amplitude; (2) the vertical strain in a liquid-filled borehole is comparable to that in the formation; and (3) the strain amplitude in the cable is of the same order of magnitude both in the formation and in the fluid. The strain in the cable is zero both when the cable\u2019s Poisson\u2019s ratio is zero and when the borehole fluid is air. The results confirm the feasibility of borehole DAS measurements with fibre-optic cables suspended in a borehole liquid (but not gas!).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23177501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T08:59:05Z","timestamp":1693299545000},"page":"7501","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Effect of the Method of Downhole Deployment on Distributed Acoustic Sensor Measurements: Field Experiments and Numerical Simulations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2752-3528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boris","family":"Gurevich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"given":"Konstantin","family":"Tertyshnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6064-3073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrej","family":"B\u00f3na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"given":"Evgenii","family":"Sidenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"given":"Pavel","family":"Shashkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9345-8517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinem","family":"Yavuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2555-6860","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roman","family":"Pevzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hartog, A.H.
