Abstract
To monitor integrity of downhole mechanical plug, a plug is deployed to a target position in a wellbore. The plug is set at the target position to provide a seal between the plug and an internal surface of a wellbore wall. The seal isolates the wellbore uphole of the plug from downhole of the plug. The plug includes a perforated carrier having a tracer system within. Fluid in the wellbore downhole of the plug is allowed to flow through holes of the perforated carrier to contact the tracer system thereby releasing the tracer into the fluid. Fluid produced uphole of the plug is flowed to the Earth surface. A sample of the produced fluid is collected and analyzed for presence of tracer in the sample. By doing so, integrity of the plug is evaluated.
