Anisotropy measurements by formation tester tracer measurements

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• measure a changing concentration profile of a volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from a formation over a time interval, wherein the tracer solution is injected into the formation through one or more probes of a plurality of probes that are set into the formation at a location within a wellbore;
• generate a varying simulated concentration profile associated with the tracer solution in a simulated formation by modifying simulated formation parameters of the simulated formation;
• compare the varying simulated concentration profile to the changing concentration profile of the volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from the formation;
• and
• identify a parameter of the formation based on a comparison of the varying simulated concentration profile to the changing concentration profile of the volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from the formation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for causing one or more processors to:

• measure a changing concentration profile of a volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from a formation over a time interval, wherein the tracer solution is injected into the formation through one or more probes of a plurality of probes that are set into the formation at a location within a wellbore;
• generate a varying simulated concentration profile associated with the tracer solution in a simulated formation by modifying simulated formation parameters of the simulated formation;
• compare the varying simulated concentration profile to the changing concentration profile of the volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from the formation;
• and
• identify a parameter of the formation based on a comparison of the varying simulated concentration profile to the changing concentration profile of the volume of tracer solution that is withdrawn from the formation.
