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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The so-called
oilfield service
industry is one of the most significant and most diversified <br>
areas of application
of nuclear science and technology. For at least 50 years, a number <br>
of
techniques based on gamma rays and neutrons have been utilized to
accurately <br>
interrogate
and characterize deep subsurface reservoirs world-wide; yet this field
<br>
continues evolve in order to address the unique challenges that are
presented
by ever <br>
deeper, hotter and higher pressure underground reservoirs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In this talk I will
present a very
brief introduction to the oilfield and review the s<br>
cientific and technical challenges
associated with hydro-carbons exploration and <br>
production. In the second part, I
will then focus on a few selected nuclear applications.</p>
