TRLUP – Real-Time Electromagnetic Sensing for Water Cut Monitoring

This project aims to develop a sensor that uses electromagnetic waves to monitor the water content (water cut) in oil production systems in real time. The sensor has already been tested in a lab environment and shows promising results in detecting changes in water levels in oil–water mixtures. Through this project, I will work with experts to improve the sensor design and explore how to bring it to market. The expected benefit to the partner organization is access to a new technology that can support better decision-making in oil production by improving real-time monitoring and reducing water handling costs.
