Abstract
A method of perforating a wellbore is provided. The method includes generating a shockwave that propagates throughout said wellbore by firing a perforation device at a perforating direction, and measuring the shockwave at a fiber optic cable in the wellbore using the fiber optic cable. The method further includes determining an orientation of the fiber optic cable relative to the perforating direction based on the shockwave and the perforating direction, and changing the perforating direction based on the orientation of said the optic cable for a subsequent perforation of the wellbore to minimize damage to the fiber optic cable during the subsequent perforation. The fiber optic cable is an existing cable that has been deployed before the method starts.
