THE USE OF RADIOACTIVE TRACERS IN OIL EXTRACTION IN ROMANIA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4262109
In the extractive oil industry in Rumania, the radioactive methods used for the investigation of drill holes by radioactive coring, as well as the processes using radioactive isotopes as tracers, found a number of applications which give significant scientific and economic results. The work carried out by means of radioactive tracers in the test holes is reviewed with regard to: determination of the areas of communication between the layers outside the columns which have received tubing or casing and concrete; monitoring of concrete pouring under pressure; monitoring of water injection to the layers; and localization of the cracks formed hy hydraulic fracturing.
