Most operators accept a degree of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of their downhole production assumptions, missing critical insights into reservoir performance, flow characteristics, and production performance. With SoluTrac dissolvable inserts for downhole tracer deployments, you can now acquire discrete production performance data that is more precise, useful, and cost-effective than traditional methods, and without the need for special handling or complicated deployment.
The SoluTrac™ tracer solution leverages a portfolio of over 220 unique FloTrac ultra-high-resolution and ultra-high-temperature nanoparticle tracers. Unlike conventional chemical tracers, every FloTrac nanoparticle tracer is compatible with both water and oil, meaning you need only a single tracer composition for both water and oil flow mapping, regardless of the fluid stream, reducing costs considerably. FloTrac tracers maintain stability in temperatures up to 2,000 deg. F and downhole pressure up to 10,000 psi.
SoluTrac features dissolvable rod inserts containing FloTrac nanoparticles tracers, sized and shipped to the well sand screen manufacturer where the rods are arranged in a circular pattern around the inside of the screen. Once deployed, each sand screen is identified by the specific nanoparticle tracer rods it contains.
As production flow passes over the rod inserts, the nanoparticle tracers are slowly released. Depending on the needs, dissolution times can be configured to last for up to ten months. Upon release, the tracers are carried to the surface with production for periodic sampling and analysis by QuantumPro experts who pin-point the sources and relative volumes of production flow to total production to deliver a production profile of the well.
Make discrete and high-resolution flow performance analysis a routine evaluation rather than a rare occurrence —optimizing your completion design, reaching your production targets, and improving profitability.
