Abstract

A method for monitoring the level of fluid in the annulus of a well is proposed. The method comprises the processing of image data generated using distributed acoustic sensing on an optical fiber extending along the well to determine at least one acoustic wave propagation limit in the annulus, and the determining of an estimate of the annulus fluid level based on the determined at least one acoustic wave propagation limit.
