Abstract

The invention provides for the use of at least one salt as a water tracer compound, wherein said salt comprises at least one organic or inorganic cation and at least one inorganic anionic metal complex. Typically the tracer is used in industrial water or in a subterranean reservoir, such as in monitoring fluid flow in a petroleum or geothermal reservoir. The anionic metal complex or the metal cation is detected to monitor fluid flow. The invention further provides a method for tracking the flow of at least one fluid, said method comprising applying at least one salt comprising at least one organic or inorganic cation and at least one inorganic anionic metal complex to at least one known position along the flow of said fluid and monitoring for the absence/presence and/or concentration of said inorganic anionic metal complex in samples of said at least one fluid. Other aspects of the invention include compositions comprising the described salts in a slurry with proppant particles and methods for monitoring the integrity of an isolation plug. Aggregates comprising consolidated crystals of the described salts are also provided.
