and management [@Williams; @Mateeva]. The use of DAS to monitor production volumes and composition within a well requires the installation of a fibre-optic cable along the length of the well combined with an interrogator unit on the surface [@paleja2015velocity]. This unit sends light pulses down the cable and processes the back-scattered light. The installation of such technology has become popular as it can be a cost effective way to obtain continuous, real-time and high-resolution information.

When monitoring the behaviour of wells it is important to be able to detect unusual occurrences, including potential corruptions of the data. Striping is one particular form of corruption that can have a particularly deleterious effect, rendering data potentially unusable in a specific time region. Stripes are characterised by sudden, and distinctive changes in the structure of the signal over time, see [@Mateeva] and [@ellmauthaler2017noise] for examples. These features can be present simultaneously across all channels or only apparent across a subset of channels, for example from the surface to a set depth within the well. Crucially, the occurrence of stripes simultaneously at different locations indicates that these features are not physical. Instead stripes can occur for a number of reasons, including a disturbance of
