Investigation of 4-Nitro-N, N-diphenylaniline as a chemical tracer under high pressure high temperature reservoir conditions for enhanced oil recovery applications by Subhadip Maiti, Nishant Kumar Choudhary, Kiran R. Gore, Sandeep D. Kulkarni

“…The novel tracer was also investigated experimentally for rock adsorption by exposing it to the sandstone rock particles (150–250 μm) at 121 °C; it was demonstrated that the tracer showed minimal adsorption at the rock surface (< 1%), which was equivalent to the industry-standard tracer. …”
