Publication number: 20180171782Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for detecting a multi-modal tracer in a hydrocarbon reservoir. One method includes injecting a multi-modal tracer at a first location in a reservoir, wherein the multi-modal tracer mixes with subsurface fluid in the reservoir; collecting fluid samples at a second location in the reservoir; and analyzing the fluid samples to detect a presence of the multi-modal tracer in the fluid samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Applicant: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Jason R.
