Abstract :
As existing hydrocarbon reservoirs are developed and exploited, the need to improve techniques for identifying new reservoirs and describing existing reservoirs grows. Indeed, it has been reported that unless a step change in resolution is achieved, production from the North Sea fields will start to decline mid decade. This paper explores the potential for tracking techniques to achieve that step change.
