Mud Tracing Services
Invasion™ Profiler
Recommend for water and oil-based drilling fluids to measure and correct for filtrate invasion in coring and drilling operations. The tracers can be used individually or simultaneously, and are injected into the mud system prior to coring or formation fluid sampling. Safe to transport, handle, store and dispose of normally.
- CMT-1000: oil soluble tracer used in oil-based drilling mud systems
- Tritiated Water: water soluble tracer used in the water phase of drilling mud systems
Deuterium Oxide
Can be used as an alternative tracer to tritiated water in water-based drilling mud systems. Naturally occurring in formations requiring a larger volume to overcome background concentrations.
Salts/Nitrates
Added to the water base mud systems. Invasion is determined by leaching the volume of salt left in the core.
