Abstract: Tracer materials that are identifiable in a fluid using electromagnetic signals are integrated into a host material that can be machined into a tool for use in a wellbore. The host material can be dissolvable and designed to dissolve at a certain rate and under certain environmental conditions in the wellbore. As the host material dissolves the tracer material is released into the wellbore where it is measured. Methods of integrating the tracer material and host dissolvable material together are also disclosed.

Abstract: A liner for a shaped charge. The liner, when the associated shaped charge is detonated, does not create a plug, carrot, or residue in the created perforation tunnel. The liner is made of a material that includes one or more of a bulk metallic glass complex (BMGC) or a high entropy alloy (HEA). The liner can include super-hard materials. The liner can be produced using one or more of a severe plastic deformation process, a cold isostatic pressing process, or a spark plasma sinter process.

Abstract: A nozzle for use with a limited entry liner. A limited entry liner can house multiple nozzles and each nozzle can include a barrel and a central, dissolvable region. The dissolvable region is made of a material that has specific properties that allow the central region to withstand pressure and environment in a well up to a certain, known point at which time the central portion will dissolve and allow fluid to pass into the limited entry liner.
Abstract: A liner for a shaped charge having integrated tracers. The liner, when the associated shaped charge is detonated, does not create a plug, carrot, or residue in the created perforation tunnel. The liner includes integrated tracers that, after detonation, are scattered into the perforation tunnel and then begin to flow back in formation fluid flow and are identifiable in the flow.
