Abstract

ABSTRACT

4D reservoir monitoring is now becoming established as a normal part of business in some companies, in some regions such as the North Sea, and for some applications, such as thermally enhanced oil recovery. Some spectacular technical successes have been reported, mostly in monitoring water floods. We are beginning to understand how to acquire and process surveys to achieve good results. There is still, however, much to improve in how we use 4D technology to capture its potential value in field management and still some way to go in the tool itself, to make it faster, cheaper and more sensitive to small production effects.
