Tracer Technology for Improved Recovery
12-15 October 2008
Media Rotana Barsha
Dubai, UAE
This workshop is to facilitate the networking and knowledge sharing on the use of tracers to improve oil and gas field management. We will discuss technical subjects for interwell tracer operations for reservoir characterisation, reservoir modeling and improved recovery. We will also cover single-well tracer subjects related to drilling, completions, workovers and production.
The sessions are planned and synchronized to be a road map for tracer technology applications. Technology providers and operating companies’ experts will share their past experience and the latest tracer technology advances. These would definitely be beneficial for all who are or will be considering tracer projects. There will be discussions on defining realistic test goals, protocol of tracer selection, test design, field deployment and interpretation methods. A dedicated session will focus on case histories where the attendees will learn about real field applications. The workshop will conclude with a session which would open the eye for new areas of tracer utilisations.
Workshop Objectives
Tracer survey is a robust and relatively inexpensive enabling technology for acquiring reservoir information that is surprisingly underutilised in the petroleum industry. There have been many recent cases where tracer technology has significantly increased the understanding of the reservoir and production operations. Some operators have used tracer technology to successfully improve their waterfloods, well stimulation, and EOR projects, such as, chemical, CO2, gas and thermal floods.
This workshop will promote sharing of experience, best practices and lessons learned. This will help the petroleum industry maximise the success rate, and realise the true potential benefit of tracer technology.
Who Should Attend
Engineers, geoscientists, production technologists, researchers, supervisors and managers who are interested in tracer technology and its application in the oil and gas industry.
This workshop is for you if you are interested to learn or share knowledge on the use of tracer technology to understand the reservoir better, and to increase hydrocarbon production and recovery from the field..
