Abstract: A method includes introducing into a drilling fluid a plurality of tags having a first clay nanoparticle and a first polymer embedded into the clay nanoparticle and circulating the drilling fluid and tags through a well during a drilling operation that creates formation cuttings such that the tags interact with the formation cuttings, creating tagged cuttings. The returned cuttings are collected from the circulating drilling fluid at a surface of the well, and the tags on the returned cuttings are detected to identify the tagged cuttings. The method also includes correlating the tagged cuttings with a drill depth in the well from the drilling operation.

Abstract: A carbonate microfluidic model with controllable nanoscale porosity and methods are described. The method for fabricating a carbonate nanofluidic micromodel with controllable nanoscale porosity for studying fluid behaviors in an underground oil-reservoir environment includes: disposing a plurality of polymer spheres into a transparent flow cell; initiating crystallization of the plurality of polymer spheres to form a template with an opal structure; filling the transparent flow cell with a calcium-based solution and a carbonate-based solution to form nanocrystals in voids of the opal structure; and removing the template formed by crystallization of the plurality of polymer spheres from the transparent flow cell leaving an inverse opal structure with a plurality of nanoscale pores and a carbonate surface. The model includes: a transparent flow cell including a first end defining an inlet and a second end defining an outlet; and an inverse opal structure of carbonate inside the transparent flow cell.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for determining the origin location of a subterranean sample are provided. Compositions include a nanoparticle tag including a superparamagnetic iron oxide core, an intermediate layer including a fluorescent dye, and a polymer shell. The nanoparticles can be synthesized by functionalizing a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle core and covalently bonding a fluorescent dye to the functionalized nanoparticle core. In some implementations, a polymer is covalently bonded to the functionalized, fluorescent superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle core. The nanoparticle tag can be used to determine the origin location of a subterranean sample by mixing the nanoparticle tag into a fluid, flowing the fluid into a subterranean formation, recovering subterranean samples from the subterranean formation, and separating tagged samples from untagged samples using a magnet. The origin location of the subterranean sample can be determined by analyzing the fluorescent signal of the nanoparticle tag.
