Permanent Monitoring Systems
In the past reservoir development and management have been guided by data gathered during short logging and testing periods before the start of production. Additional information was gathered, if considered necessary, months or years later, using well intervention methods that threatened loss of production and presented logistical problems.

Keeping Water in Its Place
Excessive water production is a serious issue in many oil fields. Alan Saxon describes recent advances in candidate recognition and water treatment methods, and shows how these can be used to reduce water cut without damaging oil and gas production.

Pores Explored
NMR techniques can help to characterize the distribution of microporosity in reservoir rocks. Bob Dennis explains how detailed knowledge of porosity distribution helps the reservoir engineer to plug and reperforate efficiently and to select optimal positions for production wells.
