Nuclear physics in the oilfield
/Dr. Tancredi Botto, Schlumberger-Doll Research
Wednesday, July 14, Cebaf Center Auditorium at 12 noon

/

****** Note the change of place *************

The so-called oilfield service industry is one of the most significant 
and most diversified
areas of application of nuclear science and technology. For at least 50 
years, a number
of techniques based on gamma rays and neutrons have been utilized to 
accurately
interrogate and characterize deep subsurface reservoirs world-wide; yet 
this field
continues evolve in order to address the unique challenges that are 
presented by ever
deeper, hotter and higher pressure underground reservoirs.

In this talk I will present a very brief introduction to the oilfield 
and review the s
cientific and technical challenges associated with hydro-carbons 
exploration and
production. In the second part, I will then focus on a few selected 
nuclear applications.
