ABSTRACT:
The method for determining flow patterns within a subterranean formation penetrated by a spaced apart injection system and production system that comprises injecting into the formation at a predetermined depth from the injection system a solution containing a small amount of one or more water-soluble tracer compounds, recovering said tracer in the production system, determining the depth of recovery, and identifying said tracer compounds by gas chromatography and flame ionization detector; said tracer compounds being water-soluble organic compounds having phosphorus, nitrogen, or sulfur in the molecule.
