High hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentrations in flare systemspose significant operational and safety risks. To mitigate these risks, Tracerco conducted an advanced leak detection assessment on nine pressure safety valves (PSVs) within the Flare Header. The goal was to enhance safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve overall process efficiency using cutting-edge tracer technology and leak detection methodologies.

In January 2025, Tracerco partnered with World Oil to host a webinar on the latest innovative advancements in tracer technology for reservoir management. As part of the session, industry leaders shared insights on how low-risk, non-intrusive chemical tracer technology is reshaping the approach to phase production and well communication. Here’s a breakdown of the top 3 questions discussed during the Q&A section of the event:

Topics: Flow assurance, reservoir analysis, reservoir characterisation, tracers, well communication, chemical tracer technology, inflow tracer

In the high-stakes world of oil and gas production, every second counts. A minor disruption in operations can have a domino effect, leading to significant financial losses.
