<p>An arrangement for monitoring a submarine reservoir comprises a number of sensor units located in an array (1) on the seabed, and an interrogator unit for obtaining data on the reservoir from the sensor units. The interrogator unit comprises a transmitter unit (20) for sending optical signals to the sensor array and a receiver unit for receiving modulated optical signals from the array. Optical radiation from an optical source (22) is transmitted along an uplink optical fibre which is split in a number of positions 36, 38 to form the array. The receiver unit comprises optical-to-electrical converters (54) for converting the optical signals to electrical signals, a phase demodulator (58), a multiplexer (60) for multiplexing signals from the phase demodulator, a signal processor (68) and recording unit (70). The interrogator unit is divided into a concentrator that includes one or more of the splitters and optical-to-electrical converter, phase demodulator etc, and an interrogator hub that includes the optical source.</p> |
