    摘要: A technique of utilizing waste as an interwell tracer. The waste includes pharmaceutical, personal care product (PPCP) waste or nanoplastic (NP) waste, or both. The system and method includes injecting an injection fluid including water and the waste at an injection well into a subterranean formation, producing produced fluid including water at a production well from the subterranean formation, measuring concentration of the waste in the produced fluid, and comparing the concentration of the waste in the produced fluid with the concentration of the waste in the injection fluid.

    摘要: Historical production data associated with production of a hydrocarbon product in a reservoir is obtained. Historical tracer test data associated with the production is obtained. History matching is performed using the historical production data and the historical tracer test data to generate improved geological models. Production optimization is performed using the improved geological models, including predicting optimized controls and updating, using the predicted optimized controls, water injection rates and fluid production rates for individual injectors and producers. The predicted optimized controls are applied to the reservoir to optimize future production.
