Abstract:
Diagnosing stimulation and quality of hydraulic fracking is a tool frequently used to evaluate the production of oil from reservoirs. Quantitative analysis of the produced oil using diagnostic chemicals is one method to evaluate the mechanisms of production rates of the treated reservoirs. Although challenging it has become an achievable task based on new analytical techniques. The two main difficulties are of course specificity and sensitivity. In this study, analytical strategies based on different detection techniques using Mass Spectrometry and ICP-MS are evaluated using twenty four halogenated aromatics. Advantages and disadvantages of each will be discussed.
