Reservoir Monitoring

RESERVOIR MONITORING
Oil fields are extremely valuable assets that need to be carefully managed. Reservoir supervisors are tasked with the difficult job of optimizing production without damaging the long term viability of the field. An important tool that managers use is an ongoing deformation surveillance program coupled with an active analysis of the data. This establishes an efficient feedback loop that is essential in understanding the short and long term effects of different production methodologies as well as the effects of different recovery techniques such as steam drives.

Pinnacle provides sophisticated reservoir analysis tools based upon empirical data flowing in from an active surveillance program. These professional services include geotechnical modeling, casing failure prediction, elevation stabilization, volumetric change analysis, and correlation of surface deformation with fracture growth and steam and water recovery techniques. Our ability to integrate the microscopic sensitivity of Tilt and Microseismics with the tremendous spatial coverage of InSAR and the stability and accuracy of ultra-high resolution GPS has satisfied diverse client demands in the oil and gas industry for nearly 15 years.
