Abstract
An optical cable includes: an optical fiber for sensing deformation of hydrocarbon absorbing resin having a property of expanding by absorbing hydrocarbon in oil; a strand provided so as to surround the outer circumference of the optical fiber; and hydrocarbon absorbing resin filling a space between the optical fiber and the strand. The optical cable configured as described above is installed along the depth direction of a well that is a measurement subject, over the entire range thereof, and a backscatter light frequency shift signal from the optical fiber is measured by a backscatter light measurement device, to detect presence/absence of leakage of oil from the well over the entire range in the depth direction of the well.
