On the radioactive marker technique for in-situ compaction measurements: a critical review
2020
Abstract. The regular monitoring of the relative position of a
sequence of radioactive bullets shot through the well of a vertical borehole
can provide in-situ measurements of deep rock compaction. Developed in the
'70s, this technology has experienced a growing interest in the '90s, but in
recent years, its use and relevance in land subsidence management above
producing hydrocarbon reservoirs have been often debated. The present
communication analyses the state of the art of the radioactive marker
technique and provides a critical review on the role that these measurements
might play in the future evolution of land subsidence monitoring and
modelling.
