Abstract
A method for monitoring the hydraulic fracturing of a subsurface formation. The formation is fractured with a fracturing fluid or a proppant containing a characteristic element of the formation which emits delayed gamma rays when activated with neutrons. The formation is activation logged before and after such fracturing. The difference in the logs is a measure of the extent of travel of the fracturing fluid or extent of deposition of the proppant within the fractured formation.
