Abstract
A tracer composition includes a carrier fluid and a tracer particle that includes at least one magnetic material and an acoustic signal generating material. A method includes introducing a tracer composition into a reservoir at a first location. The method further includes collecting fluid from the reservoir at a second location, where the first location is different from the second location. The method also includes applying a magnet field to the fluid collected from the reservoir such that the magnetic material produces vibrational energy. Due to the vibrational energy generated in the magnetic material, thermal energy is transferred to the acoustic signal generating material thereby heating the acoustic signal generating material to a boiling point such that the acoustic signal is generated. The method further includes detecting the acoustic signal and correlating the acoustic signal to a tracer particle concentration.
