Title: Tracer Interpretation Using Temporal Moments on a Spreadsheet

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/910998· OSTI ID:910998

This report presents a method for interpreting geothermal tracer tests. The method is based on the first temporal moment (mean residence time) of the tracer in the subsurface. The individual steps required to interpret a tracer test are reviewed and discussed. And an example tracer test directs the user through the interpretation method. An Excel spreadsheet application of the interpretation method is a companion document to this report.
