Tech Test Drive: Pinpoint Fracking Particles
A new tabletop nanoparticle tracing device developed at Rice University could help oil and gas producers gauge the effectiveness of their fracking efforts. How? The device predicts how effectively a nanoparticle tracer will travel through a well. “Contractors may be pumping fracturing fluid into several wells, but they often have very little idea of how the insertion well is connected to the production side,” says Rice chemist Andrew Barron. Find out how this one-of-a-kind device can help you determine how nanoparticle tracers move through fracking fluid, and learn about the connection between wells. www.gomcmag.com/featured
