  • Methods and systems for monitoring a subterranean formation and wellbore production
    Patent number: 10400584
    Abstract: Methods of monitoring conditions within a wellbore comprise providing a plurality of signal transmitters and a plurality of signal receivers within the wellbore. Marker materials configured with a particular characteristic may interact with signals generated by the plurality of signal transmitters are introduced into the wellbore. The marker materials interact with the signals, forming modified signals. The modified signals are received by the plurality of signal receivers. The plurality of receivers are configured to measure at least one of acoustic activity and an electromagnetic field to determine a location of the marker materials. The electrical conductivity and the magnetism of produced fluids may also be measured to determine a producing zone of the produced fluid. Downhole systems including the marker materials and also disclosed.
