Environment

Sooner or later almost all hydrocarbon producing wells will also start to produce water. In the Norwegian part of the North Sea, there is actually a higher production of water than hydrocarbons since 2006. The produced water is treated and reinjected, or discharged to sea, constituting one of the most important sources of pollution to sea from the oil industry. By use of RESMAN’s monitoring technology, operators have information that can allow them to optimize the production of hydrocarbons and reduce significantly the production of water. In this way, the environmental impact of the oil industry can be reduced.

RESMAN’s tracer products are present in the produced water in extremely low concentrations, comparable to a few grains of sugar in a million liters of water. Furthermore, RESMAN develops even more environmentally friendly tracers, some of them can even be edible. The company has a policy of NOT using radioactive tracers – EVER.
