Abstract
A system is provided for cementing a wellbore having a casing string disposed in the wellbore. The system includes a cement tool operable to be deployed down the wellbore through the casing string from a surface during cementing process of the wellbore, a fiber optic cable, and a computing device. The fiber optic cable is coupled with the cement tool such that the fiber optic cable spans the wellbore from the cement tool to the surface. The computing device is communicatively coupled with the fiber optic cable and is operable to receive and process signals from the fiber optic cable during the cementing process.
