Tracers for huff and puff applications

Reservoir unlocking solutions

As wells mature, identifying additional recovery opportunities becomes critical. Huff and puff techniques, commonly applied in wells 10+ years old offer a targeted method of improved oil recovery (IOR). Tracerco’s tracer technology gives operators a clear, quantitative view of how effective these cyclic operations are, enabling better decisions on chemical use, well selection, and program design. Tracerco’s tracers are co-injected with the surfactant or fluid during the injection phase and monitored throughout the huff and puff cycle.

Understand how much you’re recovering

Our tracers measure how much injected surfactant or fluid is actually contributing to oil recovery. By monitoring movement and production response, you can assess incremental recovery with confidence.

Make informed, cost-effective decisions

Our tracer data helps you:

• Identify high-potential wells that respond effectively to huff and puff treatments
• Optimise surfactant loading and formulation based on real-world performance
• Reduce chemical costs by avoiding over-treatment or ineffective deployments
• Build a repeatable, data-backed IOR strategy for mature fields
