    Talk Title: Reservoir Monitoring Consortium

    Abstract: The Reservoir Monitoring Consortium (RMC) inaugural meeting will take place at USC with participation of many oil industry participants. This two-day meeting will also be provided on Webex to allow participation from remote locations. The goal of RMC is develop new methods for dynamic reservoir monitoring. We will highlight a number of focused applied research projects in reservoir monitoring that are directly pertinent to the current and future needs of the industry sponsors. RMC will conduct R&D in diverse application areas such as the conventional reservoirs (e.g. carbonate, clastic, deep waters) and the unconventional reservoirs (shales, tight sands, heavy oils, and geothermal). One of the objectives of the meeting is to help identify the key technology gaps with input from the project sponsors. We will then focus on major issues such as integration of disciplines, data, information, and expertise. We will maintain a balance between short and long term, high impact research goals and the immediate and foreseen industry needs. One key distinguishing edge of RMC compared to other academic consortia is its focus on multidisciplinary aspect of reservoir monitoring.
