Abu Dhabi's mature field with more than 50 years of production history and over 350 wells that is presented in this paper is one of the world's largest offshore oil fields. As oil fields mature, water and gas breakthroughs become increasingly frequent and the understanding of fluid movement becomes crucial for proper reservoir management, efficient remedial works and optimum workovers and future wells drilling, which all expected to enhance oil recovery.

This paper introduces an innovative logging technique designed to track fluid movement deep in the formation in flow and no-flow intervals and through casing.
