Well tracer testing is a common practice in the oil and gas industry, and is widely used to assess field development. A single well tracer test is one type of tracer testing that uses oil-soluble tracers injected into a reservoir. The tracers are held near the bore of the producing well, and the concentration of the returned traces is used...

Tracers can be used to determine the rate at which water flows through a system. Some tracers are purposefully introduced, while others are environmentally present. A common use is to determine the saturation of a well. The wellsite diagnostics services may also be used to track the movement of groundwater. In this article, we will discuss...

Liquid water tracers have a broad application in the oil and gas industry. They are used to monitor the flow patterns between various wells and help determine the reservoir conditions. This technology is useful for regular waterflood operations, field development, and EOR pilot operations. One family of tracers is based on fluorescent silica...
