BILLINGHAM, UKTracerco will supply tracer technology for inflow measurement to support production from oil wells at the Equinor-operated Johan Castberg field development in the Barents Sea.

Castberg, comprising the Skrugard, Havis and Drivis, discoveries, is due to come onstream in 2023 and remain in production for 30 years.

Tracerco’s oil and water inflow measurement service should provide a continuous picture of well performance.

The company will monitor seven pre-drilled producers via the inflow tracer technology installed as part of the lower completion design.

The equipment will be used to monitor clean-up efficiency, locate water breakthrough, and quantify zonal oil contribution at much lower cost than a PLT or wired system, the company claimed.
