Intelligent Flow Diagnostics for Production, Injection and Geothermal Wells.

1). FloTrac

The FloTrac Edge

Stage level flow profiling

FloTrac™ ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers are especially unique in that precise flow mapping at the stage level is now available to companies of all sizes. Until FloTrac, flow profiles at the stage level was accessible only to those with the resources to employ production logging tools, permanent and retrievable fiber optic-enabled distributed temperature surveys, distributed acoustic sensing and other extremely expensive and invasive diagnostics. In hundreds of multi-stage horizontal wells, FloTrac proved its capacity to quickly and very precisely identify non-producing or minimally producing stages and critical inter-well communication events, giving you all the insight required to make timely decisions and avoid otherwise unnecessary costs and optimize your production stream.

a). Lateral placement

Concurrent with stage-level flow profiling, QuantumPro analytics allow you to clearly visualize where your lateral or vertical placement falls in relation to the most productive zone for each well. The wealth of post-frac performance data for each well we provide can be used to expeditiously tweak your existing design or guide your subsequent field development strategy by shaping optimal lateral placement, lateral length and stage spacing. These observations help you achieve maximum production from each stage and minimize unnecessary completion costs.

b). Frac hit mitigation

On tightly spaced multi-well pads in the unconventional oil and gas sector, production-draining direct inter-stage communication, or ''frac hits,'' has been blamed for billions of dollars in lost revenue. Field data shows the FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer among the most viable and affordable solutions for not only pinpointing a frac hit in your well, but also for characterizing the type and severity of any detected inter-well communication event. By using FloTrac, you can quickly determine whether you are sustaining production draining direct prop frac-to-frac communication or something much less consequential, like simple fluid migration.

c). Geothermal heat transfer

The demonstrated efficacy of FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers to identify and characterize inter-well communication events is especially critical in the rapidly growing geothermal sector. Contemporary multi-stage enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) require optimum and uniform flow and communication between the injection well and every producing well. Fortified with extreme temperature stability, FloTrac signals provide diagnostic insight to optimize injection rates, promote the best and most efficient cross-well communication and more efficiently extract heat to generate a clean and reliable power supply.

d). IOR/EOR optimization

The capacity of FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers to map flow behavior make them the obvious choice for improved oil recovery or enhanced oil recovery (IOR/EOR) projects. Beginning with designing the most optimum injection schedule, FloTrac-derived diagnostics provide valuable information that identifies any communication between injection and production wells, detects any water breakthrough or any otherwise unseen problem that could defeat the ultimate purpose of your IOR/EOR project.

e). Breach abatement

Not all wells are constructed to deliver production streams. For wells drilled for saltwater disposal, cuttings re-injection, carbon storage and sequestration and the like, maintaining permanent wellbore and formation storage integrity is a must and mandated by environmental and regulatory requirements. To that end, return signals from FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers ensure your injection wells are not landed in faults or other downhole hazards and that your injection processes are not breaching the sealing containment zone, which could lead to environmentally and economically devastating breeches and subsurface communication.

f). ESG advancement

FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers can help you meet your company's environmental, societal and governmental (ESG) initiatives. FloTrac uniquely tagged tracers distinctly require no hazardous radioactive sources, which in itself reduces your environmental footprint. What's more, the documented efficiency of FloTrac to guide you in avoiding the development of non-producing or minimally producing stages removes associated frac pumping and logistics-related emissions.

2). OmniTrac

The OmniTrac Edge

Universal wellbore flow tracer

With the OmniTrac™ universal wellbore flow tracer, we combined the diagnostic power of FloTrac with advanced metallurgy to provide a unique and non-intrusive way to assess and measure your well's production, from the bottom up. OmniTrac is, indeed, universal and applicable to any oil, gas, geothermal or water well; newly completed or legacy producing wells; horizontal or vertical; onshore or offshore.

The uniqueness of OmniTrac lies in its delivesry mechanism, which can be likened to the medicine capsule your doctor prescribes. In this case, the capsule is a highly engineered and precisely machined dissolvable alloy ball packed with distinctively tagged FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracers.

Once dropped or pumped to the bottom or end of the well, the ball, which maintains stability in up to 7,500 psi pressure, dissolves upon interacting with freshwater, brine, frac fluid or production fluids. This effectively disperses the FloTrac tracers, which return to surface with the production stream, in the same manner as when monitoring flow behavior in a fraced well.

Easily deployed with no modifications

Easily deployed with no modifications OmniTrac requires no subsurface or surface modifications. In vertical wellbores, a QuantumPro technician simply drops a ball into the wellbore where gravity takes it to bottom. In horizontal wells, a single ball is pumped to the toe of the lateral with pump-down or frac equipment, where it maintains integrity under the high-pressure pumping environment. The OmniTrac universal wellbore flow tracer is your prescription to a healthy well.

The OmniTrac universal wellbore flow tracer also delivers the same advanced data-driven diagnostics, allowing you to see precisely where production may be falling short. With this groundbreaking technology, you have all the data you require to develop an effective treatment plan, at a fraction of the costs or running otherwise unnecessary cameras, acoustics, production logging, retrievable fiber or equally complicated and intrusive production monitoring technologies.

3). PerfTrac

The PerfTrac Edge

Perforation flow efficiency tracer

The PerfTrac™ perforation flow efficiency tracer brings the robustness and diagnostic power of FloTrac to a more granular level by providing unprecedented insight into the flow assurance of perforation holes after the stimulation program. PerfTrac enables you to assess the flow profile of the perforation that corresponds directly to the quality of the completion program and reservoir performance you are preparing to develop. Through an exclusive partnership with a leading perforation charge manufacturing company, the inert nanoparticle tracers are pre-packed in the perforation charges when they arrive at the wellsite, thus requiring no onsite preparation or special handling.

The perforation guns look and operate exactly as they do without the small tracer concentrations efficiently embedded in the charge liner, which are dispersed directly into the formation upon detonation. For the operator, PerfTrac represents a risk-free mechanism to assess perforation flow performance and identify any inter-well communication. The execution and outcome of the perforation are indistinguishable from one that does not include the nanoparticle tracers. PerfTrac is ideally suited for a wide range of diverse applications, including multi-cluster unconventional wells, multi-lateral extended reach offshore wells, new exploration, and Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) wells and Geological Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) projects.

Durable tracers deliver actionable clarity to perforation flowability

Comprehensive testing verified the stability of the nanoparticle tracers under the intense velocities, temperatures, and impact pressures induced by the shock wave created during a perforation. Being non-radioactive, the PerfTrac perforation flow efficiency tracer also poses no additional burden to the already tightly regulated deployment of perforation charges. The uniquely tagged FloTrac nanoparticle tracers are analyzed using rigorous sub-atomic detection and high-resolution diagnostics.

This nonintrusive post-perf granular-level flow mapping gives you vital data to enable any needed modifications to the perforation or stimulation program to help generate maximum asset value. The PerfTrac perforation flow efficiency tracer enhances the flow pixilation and provides clarity to post-perf analysis and reservoir development.

4). SoluTrac

The SoluTrac Edge

Discrete flow performance data at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods

Most operators accept a degree of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of their downhole production assumptions, missing critical insights into reservoir performance, flow characteristics, and production performance. With SoluTrac dissolvable inserts for downhole tracer deployments, you can now acquire discrete production performance data that is more precise, useful, and cost-effective than traditional methods, and without the need for special handling or complicated deployment. 

FloTrac: Precision nanoparticle tracers for unmatched production flow performance insight

The SoluTrac™ tracer solution leverages a portfolio of over 220 unique FloTrac ultra-high-resolution and ultra-high-temperature nanoparticle tracers. Unlike conventional chemical tracers, every FloTrac nanoparticle tracer is compatible with both water and oil, meaning you need only a single tracer composition for both water and oil flow mapping, regardless of the fluid stream, reducing costs considerably. FloTrac tracers maintain stability in temperatures up to 2,000 deg. F and downhole pressure up to 10,000 psi.

SoluTrac delivers section level production flow profiling for up to ten months

SoluTrac features dissolvable rod inserts containing FloTrac nanoparticles tracers, sized and shipped to the well sand screen manufacturer where the rods are arranged in a circular pattern around the inside of the screen. Once deployed, each sand screen is identified by the specific nanoparticle tracer rods it contains.

As production flow passes over the rod inserts, the nanoparticle tracers are slowly released. Depending on the needs, dissolution times can be configured to last for up to ten months. Upon release, the tracers are carried to the surface with production for periodic sampling and analysis by QuantumPro experts who pin-point the sources and relative volumes of production flow to total production to deliver a production profile of the well.

Make discrete and high-resolution flow performance analysis a routine evaluation rather than a rare occurrence —optimizing your completion design, reaching your production targets, and improving profitability.

5). CarbonTrace

The CarbonTrace Edge

Carbon measurement and soil analysis technology

The QuantumPro, Inc. one-of-a-kind CarbonTrace™ carbon measurement and soil analysis technology wields our advanced sub-atomic and nano-particle analytical expertise and capabilities to enable farmers, ranchers, and other landowners to maximize value in the flourishing carbon credit marketplace. The comprehensive core sampling, ultra-high-resolution carbon measurements, and subsurface soil diagnostic initiative has quantified nature-based carbon sequestration levels up to 25 times higher/acre than those recorded using conventional soil laboratory sampling and testing methodologies.

The precise quantification of appreciably higher carbon captured volumes advance carbon offset initiatives by increasing available carbon credits/acre landowners can sell in the carbon credit market and to oil and gas operators and other companies. The companies, in turn, can use the credits to offset emissions generated by their operations to help meet net zero carbon objectives and other critical environmental commitments. Increasing quantifiable and high-quality carbon credits gives operators a secure and low-cost mechanism to offset emissions, while affording landowners an attractive incremental revenue stream.

CarbonTrace carbon measurement and soil analysis technology goes well beyond conventional shallow soil sampling and testing methodologies, which in the US involves the extraction of soil sample at a depth of 1 ft. With the all-encompassing CarbonTrace solution, we obtain soil samples from up to 10 ft or deeper, well below the root systems of most crops and trees, which are natural sequester magnets for atmospheric CO2. Testing results from multiple agricultural-related projects collocated with associated activities have verified 10 times more certifiable total carbon by weight than that of earlier shallower measurements.

Through our comprehensive testing protocol, the integrated CarbonTrace carbon measurement and soil analysis technology thoroughly quantifies and delineates the superior natural carbon absorption capacity of each soil layer, providing additional income to farmers, ranchers and landowners, while helping public and private companies achieve their carbon neutral and ESG objectives.
