Abstract

Summary

Accurate reservoir saturation mapping and monitoring is a critical challenge for oil companies. The vision is to develop deep sensing technologies, which enable a game changing impact to support intelligent field developments, with time-lapsed saturation monitoring capabilities.

Electromagnetic (EM) methods, among others such as seismic and gravity, have a potential pivotal role in this vision.

Research and development (R&D) strategies have to be put in place in the industry to allow their massive and cost effective deployment, beside the current promising pilot testing status. In this work, we analyze in detail potential R&D pathways, following the classical approaches for innovation: incremental and disruptive.
