==ISOTOPIC MONITORING OF RESERVOIR WATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054593 titled 'ISOTOPIC MONITORING OF RESERVOIR WATER

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure describes a method for optimizing a hydrocarbon well based on analyzing water samples from a subterranean formation.

* Collect at least one water sample from a subterranean formation
* Obtain normalized oxygen and hydrogen isotopic ratios from the water sample
* Create an unknown water profile based on the isotopic ratios
* Compare the unknown water profile to known water profiles
* Optimize the hydrocarbon well based on the comparison

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in the oil and gas industry for improving the efficiency and productivity of hydrocarbon wells.

== Problems Solved ==
This method helps in identifying the characteristics of water in subterranean formations, which can aid in making informed decisions for optimizing hydrocarbon wells.

== Benefits ==
- Increased efficiency in hydrocarbon extraction
- Reduction in operational costs
- Enhanced understanding of subterranean water composition

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Optimizing Hydrocarbon Wells with Water Analysis Technology"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to analyzing water samples for optimizing hydrocarbon extraction processes, but specific examples are not provided in this disclosure.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure relates to a method, including: collecting at least one water sample from a subterranean formation; obtaining a first normalized oxygen isotopic ratio based on a first water sample of the at least one water sample; obtaining a first normalized hydrogen isotopic ratio based on the first water sample; obtaining a first unknown water profile based on the first water sample, wherein the first unknown water profile comprises the first normalized oxygen isotopic ratio and the first normalized hydrogen isotopic ratio; comparing the first unknown water profile to at least one known water profile; and optimizing a hydrocarbon well, wherein optimizing a hydrocarbon well is based on comparing the first unknown water profile to at least one known water profile.
