"Rapid Completion Optimization Using Particulate Oil-Soluble Tracers"

Abstract
Application of multiple stimulation designs in a single lateral with unique particulate oil-soluble tracers (OSTs) yields discrete data for post-completion statistical assessment. The same technique is used, holding the completion design constant, for discernment of geological characteristics as each tracer generates its own decline-curve in the unique lithology across the wellbore. The statistically significant data provided by OSTs leads to rapid optimization of completion designs and wellbore placement compared to single well analysis.
