Oil Reservoir Monitoring using Ultra-Wideband Radar Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Oil-reservoir management using measurements and control techniques have been in use by oil and gas industries to improve the production and maintenance of the existing oil reservoirs. In the course of this project the applications of UWB radar systems and techniques to acquire near real-time information about the oil reservoir conditions are studied. Various oil reservoir structures such as oil wells, with both concrete or metal casings, and heavy-oil reservoirs (i.e., oil-sands) have been investigated. Different types of electromagnetic sensors and processing techniques are developed for these applications. The results of this research to enable the rapid industrialization of the proposed radar system for oil reservoir monitoring.
