Molecular tracers and modified proppants for monitoring underground fluid flows

Patent · Tue Jul 04 04:00:00 EDT 2023

OSTI ID:2221939

Kemp, Richard A.; Boyle, Timothy J.

The present invention relates to modified proppants and methods of using the modified proppants that use metal ligand tracers to characterize subterranean fluid flow. The metal and ligands are best chosen to be a strongly-coordinating, chelating ligand with a functional group for the chosen flow environment.
