Abstract:
This disclosure relates to systems and methods associated with a replenishable receptacle for tagger and/or tracer material in a wellbore. The system may include a receptacle configured to contain tracer material and release tracer material into fluid flowing in a wellbore responsive to the fluid flowing adjacent to the receptacle. The tracer material includes a distinctive element or chemical configured to facilitate determining information associated with movement of fluid in the wellbore. A rate of the release of the tracer material may be related to a rate of flow of the fluid in the wellbore. The receptacle may be further configured to be refilled with tracer material responsive to the tracer material contained by the receptacle being depleted. Refilling the receptacle may be performed via one or more of a wireline, a coiled tubing, a tractor, a robot, a work-string and/or tubing from a light intervention vessel, and/or other approaches.
