The main goal of the paper is demonstration of permanent downhole long-term monitoring capabilities for oil and gas production profile along horizontal wellbore in case of natural flow. The informational basis of the results obtained is the data of long-term temperature and acoustic monitoring in the borehole using a distributed fiber-optic sensor (DTS + DAS). Materials and methods. At the same time, flowing bottom-hole pressure and surface rates were monitored at the well for rate transient analysis, as well as acoustic cross-well interference testing [1], based on the results of which “well-reservoir” system properties were evaluated, the cross-well reservoir properties of the were estimated, and the possibility of cross-well testing using downhole DTS-DAS equipment was justified. The research results made it possible to assess reliability of DTS-DAS long-term monitoring analysis results in case of multiphase inflow and multiphase wellbore content. In particular, DTS-DAS results was strongly affected by the phase segregation in the near-wellbore zone of the formation. Conclusions. In the process of study, the tasks of inflow profile for each fluid phase evaluation, as well as its changes during the well production, were solved. The reservoir intervals with dominantly gas production have been reliably revealed, and the distribution of production along the wellbore has been quantified for time periods at the start of production and after production stabilization.
