MANIPULATING HYDROPHILICITY OF CONVENTIONAL DYE MOLECULES FOR WATER TRACER APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17548837 titled 'MANIPULATING HYDROPHILICITY OF CONVENTIONAL DYE MOLECULES FOR WATER TRACER APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a composition that includes a functionalized fluorescent dye. This dye is functionalized with a functional group called a primary amine. The composition can be mixed with a fluid to create a tracer fluid for tracking fluid flow in a subterranean formation.
- The patent application describes a functionalized fluorescent dye that can be used as a tracer in subterranean formations.
