  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS OF DISPERSIBLE FERROELECTRIC NANOPARTICLES, AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220282149
    Abstract: Methods of forming dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles, including polyether-ylated barium titanate nanoparticles. Uses of the dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles, including as a ferroelectric tracer material, optionally for detecting a presence and/or measuring a distribution of an oil or a hydrocarbon in a subsurface formation and/or flowback fluid. Compositions and methods involving an oil or hydrocarbon recovery fluid and the dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles for detecting a presence, measuring a distribution, or both of an oil or a hydrocarbon in a subsurface formation and/or flowback fluid.

  • BI-MODAL ANALYSIS AGENT
    Publication number: 20200024506
    Abstract: Manganese oxide nanoparticles with favorable properties for multi-modal imaging in medical and non-medical imaging applications are provided. The particles are useful for multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging. The particles are useful as T1 contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. The favorable properties of the manganese oxide nanoparticles also make them useful as tracers for subsurface formation characterization. One embodiment provides a process which includes the steps of injecting nanoparticles into a discrete subterranean region, and detecting fluorescence and/or magnetic data of the one or more nanoparticles in a produced fluid which includes the injected fluid and a formation fluid from the subterranean region.
