RESMAN FILLS FIRST ORDER FOR MARATHON

RESMAN will equip Marathon Petroleum Company (Norway’s) upcoming wells in the Volund field with tracer-based monitoring technology to monitor oil and water inflow. This is the first order filled by RESMAN to Marathon. Resman has recently successfully installed its groundbreaking, wireless well monitoring technology in six wells in the North Sea. Marathon Petroleum Company (Norway) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO).

RESMAN CEO Oddvar Solemsli said, “Use of the Resman tracer system in the Volund project’s production wells will allow MPC(N) long term monitoring of the production from this unique reservoir. Additionally the project benefits from being able to eliminate well testing activities from a semi submersible drilling rig while still being able to gain important early data relating to the well cleanup and performance.”
 
RESMAN has developed a completely new range of tracers with ultra low detection limits that enable the company to monitor inflow of oil and water over a long period of time, potentially throughout the life of the well.  This will make it possible for the field operator to build up a continuous production profile without intervention.
 
According to RESMAN CEO Oddvar Solemsli, “We are proud of becoming a supplier to Marathon and we look forward to bring well inflow monitoring to a new level with the Volund project.”
