Laboratory Studies of Organic and Inorganic Geothermal Tracers at Superhot and Supercritical Conditions

Laboratory studies have been performed at testing stability of organic and inorganic tracers at super-hot and supercritical conditions. Both static and dynamic tests have been performed at specially constructed equipment which can tolerate such hard conditions. In some cases these tests indicate no rapid thermal degradation of the tested tracer candidates within the time frame of the performed stability test (2 months). In other cases the experiments indicate interactions between the rock material and the tracer candidates.
