AB: This is an overview paper intended to provide the reader with insight on basic reliability issues often confronted when designing long-term well monitoring equipment. No single system is looked at, but general examples of reliability issues involving fiber optic sensors, both fiber optic and electric cables and electronic components and sensors are given. This will aid in building systems where a long operating life is required. However, this introduction paper can not cover all reliability issues, so basic testing concepts are also suggested.
