The Role of Tracers Technology Application in Characterizing and Monitoring KOC Reservoirs Seminar

Tracers are substances with physical, chemical, biological, or radioactive properties that can help identify, observe or follow the behavior of various processes. They are used in the oil industry to qualitatively or quantitatively gauge how fluid flows through the reservoir.
The presentation will focus on the role, function, and types of tracers application as a means of reservoir monitoring and characterization. In addition, a focus will be on the field application of a state of art tracer technology, namely, 'Partitioning Inter-well Tracers (PITT) in the form of a pilot to determine the remaining oil saturation and communication pathways. Knowing the remaining oil saturation is an important pre-requisite to reduce decision risk of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) measures and accurately design EOR-projects.
