Abstract
In this research, seven chemicals substances selected from the families of inorganic salts and dyes commonly used in hydrology were evaluated as potential tracers for hydraulic fracturing using economic analytical methods implemented for their detection and quantifi cation and that also can be performed in situ. From adsorption tests, compatibility between the fracture gel and formation fl uids and core fl ooding tests, three substances responded acceptably, after being subjected to physical and chemical conditions of a hydraulic fracturing process which enable them to be used as tracers.
