Technological challenge:
Selective water isolation
Description: The currently available technology – polymers, has limited application: requiring a larger receiving of a layer and inefficiency at high temperatures (>120°C), hence the need to provide alternative resin-based materials for technology roll-out.
Scope of activity: Formation
Expected Outcome: Chemistry and new materials
Current Constraints: High temperatures and low receiving layer adhesion
Potential Solutions: Application of resins or other alternative solutions. Market research for new materials for temporary isolation, laboratory testing, and in the next year operational testing (OPI). Application of resins on fields where conventional polymers have not yielded positive results.
