An analytical solution for slug tracer tests in fractured reservoirs

The transport of chemicals or heat in fractured reservoirs is strongly affected by the fracture‐matrix interfacial area. Under unsaturated conditions, such as in vapor‐dominated geothermal reservoirs, this area can be estimated from inert gas tracer tests that produce a characteristic tail in tracer...
