Tracer compounds in geothermal reservoirs

In a tracer test applied tracers are introduced and transported with a working fluid so that the tracer response signals can be used to determine the target parameters of the aquatic system such as temperatures flow paths and residence times. Implementing a tracer test requires adherence to a series of specified steps and a failure in one step can attribute to an unreliable tracer response. The presented work focuses on ameliorating tracer test results with regard to selecting a proper tracer compound preserving the tracer test samples and expanding the number of thermo-sensitive tracers.
