Abstract

A method for tracing gas flow in a hydrocarbon reservoir with compositions including a degradable polymer and a detectable component. An exemplary method includes introducing a tracer composition at a first location in the reservoir, contacting the tracer composition with the reservoir to hydrolyze the degradable polymer, and detecting a degraded tracer composition including the hydrolyzed polymer and the detectable component in a gas sample collected at a second location in the reservoir.
