Gippsland and Murray Basin Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing Data

This dataset contains both raw and processed data files.

The data consists of temperature-depth profiles collected from boreholes using an AP Sensing N4386B and Silixa XT-DTS Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) instruments.

The purpose of this data collection was to conduct a comparative study between DTS and conventional thermistor-based wireline logging methods. This comparison aimed to evaluate if DTS could serve as a viable alternative or complementary approach to conventional techniques in measuring borehole temperatures.

The study was conducted as part of a master’s project, focusing on maximising the amount of data captured with DTS to compare its precision, accuracy, efficiency, and ease of deployment compared to the conventional method.
