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.

How to save money and gain critical insights with inflow tracer technology
Oct 6, 2021 3:59:31 PM
Oil, gas and water-based chemical tracers provide a true understanding of reservoir fluid flow pathways. It helps oil companies continuously monitor their reservoir and optimise drilling, completion and oil development strategies to maximise oil production.
In this blog we will discuss using a case study example, how our range of specialist chemical tracers can provide operators with critical insights without the need for well intervention or deferred production which can result in significant savings.

Optimise oil production using inflow, interwell and completion integrity tracers

Mature oilfields are often characterised by increased water production. This results in costly water treatment and reduced oil processing capacity. Unwanted produced water may stem from well integrity failure, wellbore tortuosity, high waterflood injection rates, high permeability channelling, thief zones or injector / producer well spacing as well as water coning. Identifying the source of excessive water production and mitigating for its costly impact is critical during field development in reducing costs and maximising oil production.

Interwell partitioning tracers to measure the effectiveness of a chemical EOR flood
Mar 17, 2021 12:57:25 PM
Tracer technology is proven to be critical to assess remaining oil saturation measurement in a reservoir following secondary recovery. It allows the measurement of remaining oil saturation between wells, rather than just surrounding a wellbore. This technique is normally used before and after an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project to establish changes in crude oil saturation.
In this blog we will discuss using a case study example, how our range of specialist chemical tracers can allow operators to identify the amount of remaining oil saturation in a mature waterflood and determine the effectiveness of specific enhanced oil recovery techniques at reducing remaining oil to residual levels.
