Abstract: The disclosure features methods of analyzing a fluid extracted from a reservoir, the methods including introducing a first composition featuring a first complexing agent into a reservoir at a first location, extracting a fluid from the reservoir at a second location different from the first location, combining the fluid with a second composition featuring a concentration of a lanthanide ion to form a third composition featuring a concentration of a complex formed by the first complexing agent and the lanthanide ion, exposing a quantity of the complex to electromagnetic radiation for a first time period ending at a time t0, detecting fluorescence emission from the quantity of the complex for a second time period starting at a time t1>t0, where t1−t0 is greater than 2 microseconds, and determining information about a fluid flow path between the first location and the second location.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for determining the origin location of subterranean rock samples. In some implementations, the compositions include a nanoparticle tag that includes a natural polysaccharide, a fluorescent dye, and superparamagnetic nanoparticles. In some implementations, a method of determining the origin location of a subterranean rock sample includes mixing the nanoparticle tag into a fluid, flowing the fluid into a subterranean formation, recovering subterranean rock samples from the formation, separating tagged rock samples from untagged rock samples using a magnet, and determining the origin location by analyzing a fluorescent signal of the nanoparticle tag.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing groundwater samples with multiple organic tracer species from a petroleum containing reservoir include obtaining the sample, isolating an aqueous fraction of the groundwater sample, separating the aqueous fraction into a plurality of components, where each component corresponds to a different one of the organic tracer species, combining each of the separated components with at least one lanthanide element to form a plurality of component solutions, where a ratio of the at least one lanthanide element to the separated component in each component solution is 5:1 or greater, and analyzing each component solution to determine a relative amount of each organic tracer species in the groundwater sample.

Abstract: Spherical grains and sacrificial particles are mixed in a suspension. The sacrificial particles are larger than the spherical grains. The suspension is injected into a channel in a microfluidic chip, and the spherical grains form microporous structures in the channel. The microporous structures are sintered in the channel. A solvent is injected into the channel, and the solvent dissolves the sacrificial particles and forms macropores between at least some of the microporous structures, thereby forming a mixed-porosity microfluidic chip.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for detecting a tracer in a hydrocarbon reservoir. One method includes injecting a tracer at a first location in a reservoir, wherein the tracer mixes with subsurface fluid in the reservoir; collecting fluid samples at a second location in the reservoir; mixing a magnetic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) particle with the fluid samples; applying a magnetic field to the mixed fluid samples; and analyzing the fluid samples to detect a presence of the tracer in the fluid samples.

Abstract: A method of quantifying zonal flow in a multi-lateral well is described. A first taggant is flowed to a first lateral, and a second taggant is flowed to a second lateral. A first produced fluid that includes the first taggant is flowed from the first lateral into a production tubing. A second produced fluid that includes the second taggant is flowed from the second lateral into the production tubing. A produced stream including the first produced fluid and the second produced fluid is flowed uphole through the production tubing. An amount of the first taggant and an amount of the second taggant in the produced stream are measured. Production of fluid from the multi-lateral well proceeds without ceasing throughout the method.

Abstract: A method, system, and taggants (tracers) for quantifying zonal flow in a multi-lateral well having a wellbore with a first lateral and second lateral. The technique includes flowing first produced fluid from a formation via the first lateral into production tubing providing a first taggant through a first dosing tubing to the first lateral, and flowing second produced fluid from the formation via the second lateral into the production tubing and providing a second taggant through a second dosing tubing to the second lateral. A produced stream having the first produced fluid and the second produced fluid flows uphole through the production tubing and discharges from the wellbore. The produced stream may be analyzed to measure an amount of the first taggant in the produced stream and an amount of the second taggant in the produced stream.
