Pumpable tracers for reservoir characterization

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

RESMAN delivers advanced tracer technology to the oil industry. Pumpable tracers are used to monitor fluid flow in the reservoir. Due to complex well structures there is a need for different types of tracers that survive in the reservoir for years and at the same time can be analysed in extremely low concentration in samples collected from the production wells. The current project aims at increasing the number of available tracers. There will be a focus on developing tracers that survive in the reservoir for decades and at the same time has minimal negative effects for the environmental. Access to more qualified tracers give us even better possibilities to measure details on oil saturation, permeability, and transport in the reservoir.
