EOR and IOR Tracers

SPECTRAFLOOD™ is an interwell tracer diagnostic service that comprises a versatile array of unique chemical tracers designed to track the movement of injected fluids within the reservoir.

EOR/IOR diagnostic projects address specific objectives such as:

Communication Paths
  • Breakthrough time
  • Injected water distribution
  • Swept pore volume
Unswept Oil
  • Best patterns for tertiary recovery
  • Injector placement
  • Pattern modification
Flow Type
  • Layer effects
  • Thief zones
  • Natural fracture communication
Partitioning Tracers

Core Lab’s suite of non-radioactive, chemical tracers are selected specifically for their unique range of partitioning coefficients when interacting with hydrocarbons at a broad range of reservoir conditions.

Stimulation Optimization

Along with fluid diagnostics, SPECTRASTIM™ proppant tracers are utilized in acid stimulations, refracs, and propped stimulations to evaluate:

  • Acid/Sand placement
  • Diversion effectiveness
  • Plug performance and cement integrity
  • Frac height
  • Landing zone selection
  • Where are natural fractures (avoided or exploited)

Inflow Monitoring

PhaseTrace and FlowTrace

Polymer embedded oil and water tracers provide long term identification of fluid type inflow and contribution on a zonal basis from your reservoir.
