The present application describes a specific tracer delivery system that has been tested. The claimed system is composed of melamine formaldehyde resin (MFR) doped with various tracer materials. The MFR is used to slowly release tracer compounds into a liquid system. The MFR/tracer mixture is applied as part of a monitoring system where tracer is delivered from the MFR/tracer mixture at a specific location up-stream and detected at some location downstream, thereby verifying fluid flow from that specific location up-stream. The MFR can be doped with different types of tracers, thereby allowing placement of different tracers at several different positions upstream. Production from the various labelled zones can be verified through the analysis of one sample downstream.
