Nanochemistry-based fluorescent reagents
Nanoparticles can be used in the oil industry as non-toxic thermally stable reservoir tracers. The fluorescent silica nanoparticles are stable at temperatures up to 250°C, and specifically designed for fracking solutions. Wilson Analytical’s instrumentation can be used to identify the presence of the fluorescent silica nanoparticles with a ppm detection limit. The LabBox is intended for a nearby lab, and the Open Platform System (OPS) allows for one to perform various tests for research; however both Wilson’s instruments provide a ppm detection limit.
