Abstract

A sensing system for sensing in a bore having tubing (30) inserted, has a sensing fiber (55) extending along the bore at least predominantly in an annular space (250) outside the tubing to sense a condition, such as pressure conditions, in the annular space in a distributed manner, parts of the fiber being arranged to sense a condition, such as pressure conditions inside the tubing. The system also includes a transmitter and a receiver (42) coupled to receive light from the sensing fiber for sensing pressure conditions inside the tubing and in the annular space.
