METHOD OF MANIPULATING HYDROPHILICITY AND HYDROPHOBICITY OF CONVENTIONAL DYE MOLECULES FOR TRACER APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17548858 titled 'METHOD OF MANIPULATING HYDROPHILICITY AND HYDROPHOBICITY OF CONVENTIONAL DYE MOLECULES FOR TRACER APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes functionalized fluorescent tracers that can be used to trace fluid flow in subterranean formations. These tracers contain a functionalized fluorescent dye that includes an isothiocyanate-containing dye functionalized with a functional group that includes a primary amine. The method involves mixing the tracer into a fluid, flowing the tracer fluid into a subterranean formation, recovering a sample from the formation, and analyzing the sample for a fluorescent signal and a barcode functional group.
- Functionalized fluorescent tracers are provided for tracing fluid flow in subterranean formations.
- The tracers contain a functionalized fluorescent dye with an isothiocyanate-containing dye and a functional group with a primary amine.
- The method involves mixing the tracer into a fluid, flowing it into a subterranean formation, recovering a sample, and analyzing it for a fluorescent signal and a barcode functional group.
Potential Applications
- Tracing fluid flow in subterranean formations during oil and gas exploration and production.
- Monitoring the movement of fluids in underground reservoirs.
- Studying the behavior of fluids in geological formations for environmental and geological research.
Problems Solved
- Provides a method for accurately tracing fluid flow in subterranean formations.
- Offers a way to monitor the movement of fluids in underground reservoirs in real-time.
- Enables researchers to study the behavior of fluids in geological formations with high precision.
Benefits
- Allows for better understanding and control of fluid flow in subterranean formations.
- Provides valuable data for optimizing oil and gas production processes.
- Offers insights into the behavior of fluids in geological formations for various research purposes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Functionalized fluorescent tracers, methods of making the tracers, and methods of using the tracers are provided. In some implementations, the fluorescent tracers include a functionalized fluorescent dye. The functionalized fluorescent dye includes an isothiocyanate-containing dye functionalized with a functional group that includes a primary amine. In some implementations, a method of tracing fluid flow in a subterranean formation includes mixing the functionalized fluorescent tracer into a fluid, flowing the tracer fluid into a subterranean formation, recovering a sample from a subterranean formation, and analyzing the sample for a fluorescent signal and a barcode functional group.
