METHODS FOR MONITORING A WATER SOURCE USING OPTICOANALYTICAL DEVICES.

摘要

In or near real-time monitoring of fluids can take place using an opticoanalytical device that is configured for monitoring the fluid, Fluids can be monitored prior to or during their introduction into a subterranean formation using the opticoanalytical devices. Produced fluids from a subterranean formation can be monitored in a like manner. The methods can comprise providing water from a water source; monitoring a characteristic of the water using a first opticoanalytical device that is in optical communication with a flow pathway for transporting the water; and introducing the water into a subterranean formation.
