Abstract

A method of providing optical fiber in a wellbore may include lowering a spindle holding the optical fiber through the wellbore and anchoring a distal end of the optical fiber in the wellbore. The method may also include drawing the optical fiber from the spindle by pulling the spindle back through the wellbore. A device for providing optical fiber in a wellbore may include a spindle configured to hold at least a portion of the optical fiber as the spindle moves through the wellbore. The optical fiber is drawn from the spindle as the spindle passes through the wellbore.
