A Sensitive Frequency Band Study for Distributed Acoustical Sensing Monitoring Based on the Coupled Simulation of Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow and Acoustic Processes by Zhong Li, Yi Wu, Yanming Yang, Mengbo Li, Leixiang Sheng, Huan Guo, Jingang Jiao, Zhenbo Li, Weibo Sui

“…The results demonstrate that within the same flow pattern, an increase in the gas–water ratio significantly elevates acoustic amplitude and SPL peaks within the 5–50 Hz frequency band. Analysis of oil field DAS data reveals that the amplitude response range for stages with a lower gas–water ratio falls within 5–10 Hz, whereas stages with a higher gas–water ratio exhibit an amplitude response range of 10–50 Hz.…”
