Shale production's growing complexity requires more evolved chemical tracers to find correlations between the stage production of oil and the geophysical data of a well. At its most basic, a chemical tracer allows operators to see the flow-back from each stage of The researchers found that in some cases, they could not distinguish between different stages of shale production. Oil and gas diagnostics company Tracerco seeks to develop more environmentally friendly chemical tracers that work for different types of well.
