An apparatus for sensing strain applied to a region of a hydrocarbon well comprises an optical fiber in communication with the region. The optical fiber is responsive to strain applied to the region and to a light signal transmitted through it, in order to produce a sensing light signal incorporating scattered light. A characteristic of the scattered light is indicative of the strain being applied to the region.
