==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.
