How our insights make a difference

Our services allow you to make insight-driven decisions and optimise business processes, while also reducing costs and increasing profit.

We have technology to visualise oil, water, and gas flow in reservoirs, detect asset integrity issues, characterise subsea flow assurance problems, and troubleshoot process challenges in refineries, petrochemical, and gas plants.

With our services you can feel assured in making insight-driven decisions, identifying the best and most cost-effective solution for your needs.

 

1). Drilling and production

Tracerco's chemical tracers provide a true understanding of reservoir fluid flow pathways.

A reservoir of knowledge

Our technology uses oil, gas and water-based chemical tracers to provide a true understanding of reservoir fluid flow pathways. It has helped oil companies continuously monitor their reservoir and optimise drilling, completion and oil development strategies to maximise oil production in thousands of wells globally.

In both conventional and non-conventional reservoirs, our chemical tracer technology provides critical fluid flow information, accurately measuring water, gas and oil flow.

8). Mining applications

Tracerco's instruments enhance the efficiency, reliability and productivity in several mining applications.

Optimising mining processes with nucleonic measurement

Designed for the most challenging mineral processing problems, Tracerco’s advanced nuclear level, phase and density measurement systems can be installed by mining operators to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and productivity of their key processes.

Being able to accurately quantify and report real time data from field operations, in remote and harsh environments, poses a challenge to most conventional measurement technologies. Tracerco’s Profiler™, Hyperion™ and Optimus™  systems provide more reliable, repeatable, cost effective, and maintenance free solutions to challenging mining measurement situations including: transporting slurry feeds; controlling thickener flow; and accurate cyclone monitoring.

The Profiler™ is designed to measure slight changes in the interface distribution of fluids and solids to give unparalleled visibility within a floatation tank or thickener. With no moving parts The Profiler^™ provides a maintenance-free process control solution.

Hyperion™ has innovative scintillator-based technology, which is  reliable and accurate for non-contact bulk level and density measurement. It offers unrivalled stability to mining operators, automatically compensating for ambient temperature changes, allowing sustained accuracy and virtually no age-related drift in measurements. With enhanced self-diagnostics, and built-in condition monitoring, Hyperion™ can monitor health status, relative humidity, predict component failures (e.g. wear of pipes), and provide an end-of-life estimation.

Optimus™ is a breakthrough level measurement instrument providing accurate and repeatable nucleonic-level measurement in processes areas such as preheat cyclones and crusher surge bins, even in the presence of process deposits, extreme temperatures and pressure changes. Its many benefits include process optimisation, reduction in unplanned shutdowns and improved product quality.

Tracerco also offers a range of market leading radiation monitors  and can advise and train staff on requirements for radiation protection.
