Title: Fibro: a fiber optic data processing software for unconventional reservoirs

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for data collection using fiber-optic cable in a well, and analysis of the data to determine instantaneous frequency, instantaneous phase, instantaneous amplitude, and/or dominant frequency. These measures can be used to determine parameters associated with the operation of the well. The parameters can be used to control the operation of the well and/or the fracturing process.
