Novel Approach To High Water Cut Measurement In A Mature Oil Field

Novel Approach To High Water Cut Measurement In A Mature Oil Field from Chemistry Matters Inc.

Presented in Abu Dhabi at the SPE Conference in 2008, this presentation covers the optimization of water cut measurements for crude oil reserves in mature fields that have very high water cut values.

Traditional volumetric methodologies cannot accurately measure water cut measurements when the water cut is greater than 90%. This methodology demonstrates that gravimetric techniques can be used to measure water cuts as they approach 100% to provide valid data for assessing production.
