Shell, NL and Petroleum Development Oman
To develop a novel new technology to manage fractured carbonate oil rim reservoirs that reports in real-time the location and thickness of the oil rim.
To replace the conventional use of periodic gradio surveys which can be inaccurate and do not offer real-time data.
A Distributed Pressure and Temperature Sensing (DPTS) system was developed, trialled and proven to track the oil rim in real time.
