Method of determining the condition and position of components in a completion system

Abstract

Methods may include detecting the presence of a component in a wellbore including irradiating an interval of a wellbore containing one or more components of a wellbore tool with a neutron source, wherein the one or more components of the wellbore tool comprise one or more tracer materials; measuring the radiation emitted from the one or more components of a wellbore tool; determining one or more of presence, location, and intensity of the radiation emitted from the one or more components of the wellbore tool. Devices may include a first element comprising one or more tracer materials, wherein the one or more tracer materials emit gamma radiation upon irradiation with a neutron source; wherein the tool is configured to be emplaced in a subterranean formation.
