Silixa provides distributed fibre optic monitoring solutions with high levels of accuracy on existing or new fibre installations. Our distributed sensing solutions apply the power of real-time distributed acoustic sensing (iDAS™ and Carina® Sensing System) and distributed temperature sensing (ULTIMA™ DTS) to measure and monitor conditions within wellbores and other assets. Our reliable results and proven track record enable our clients to make informed decisions.
Oil & Gas
Our range of downhole sensing applications and enabling technologies make Silixa the right choice for permanent reservoir and well monitoring.
Pipeline Surveillance
Our technology offers continuous pipeline integrity monitoring by simultaneously detecting intrusion and leak events along the pipeline.
Process Metering
Non-intrusive metering for all plant flows with a single fibre, regardless of pipe material or flow type.
Distributed Sensing
Our monitoring solutions provide the highest spatial & temporal resolution for data capture over large surfaces and long lengths.News & Events

Silixa to present at AGU’s Fall Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana on 12 December 2017
Francesco Ciocca, Silixa’s Environmental Engineer, will be giving a presentation on the use of fibre optic acoustic sensing for hydrogeophysical soil subsurface characterization on 12 December 2017.
Research indicates that surface seismic methods can characterize the hydrogeochemical properties of soil in a controlled environment; however, no technology has been proven outside a controlled environment.
Silixa conducted a study in the United Kingdom to test the exciting potential of utilising distributed acoustic sensing for hydrogeophysical soil layer characterization.

Silixa to present on Fibre Optic Acoustic Sensing in Wells at the Non-seismic Geophysical Technologies and Non-Conventional Seismic Conference in London on 11 October, 2017
Garth Naldrett, Silixa’s Chief Product Officer, will be presenting on Fibre Optic Acoustic Sensing in Wells at the Non-seismic Geophysical Technologies and Non-Conventional Seismic Conference in London on 11 October, 2017.
Following several years of comparison around the globe, many geophysicists now accept that the quality of seismic data recorded on optical fibres is equivalent to that of geophones. Over the past three years, DAS surveys have been run on many non-conventional applications, such as carbon[...]
News & Events
Distributed sensing is a technology that enables continuous, real-time measurements along the entire length of a fibre optic cable. Unlike traditional sensors that rely on discrete sensors measuring at pre-determined points, distributed sensing does not rely upon manufactured sensors but utilises the optical fibre. Read more
