Optimal experimental design for enhanced oil recovery monitoring with electromagnetic remote sensing
The amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field can be increased by injecting gas or
water into the reservoir. This process, generically-termed enhanced oil recovery (EOR), can be
monitored using geophysical remote sensing techniques. In this project we will focus on monitoring of
EOR gas injection with time-domain electromagnetics (TDEM). TDEM uses electric and magnetic
fields induced in the earth to make inferences about the distribution of subsurface electrical
conductivity. We will develop techniques for recovering three-dimensional conductivity models from
observed TDEM data. In addition, we will examine how TDEM sensors can best be deployed to
recover high resolution conductivity models during gas injection
