Abstract

A method is described for monitoring fluid flow within a region to be measured of a subterranean formation. The method comprises placing at least one source within the subterranean formation and placing at least one sensor within the region to be measured. Each sensor is adjacent to at least one source such that the sensor measures changes to the fluid caused by the source; and provides at least one means for transmitting data from each sensor to at least one data collection device. The data collection device is capable of communicating with an operator.
