Abstract
Embodiments presented provide for use of fiber optics within the wellbore environment. Embodiments further provide selection of optimal gauge length of fiber optics in hydrocarbon recovery operations, carbon capture and sequestration operations, or geothermal applications. The method includes obtaining data from optical fibers, processing the data using a fixed gauge length, estimating an apparent velocity using the fixed gauge length through an autonomous computing arrangement, estimating a source bandwidth from the apparent velocity through the autonomous computing arrangement to produce a result, establishing a variable gauge length and reference profile for the result, and processing the obtained data with the established variable gauge length to yield a processed optical data set.
