Abstract: Encoding downhole data in nucleic acid molecules provides increased speed accuracy in the communication of downhole data to the surface. Nucleic acid molecules can be coded with downhole data using a telemetry module that comprises a microfluidic system to perform an encoding process that encodes carrier nucleic acid molecules with substitute sequences or segments at specific locations that comprise retrieved or acquired downhole data. The encoded carrier nucleic acid molecules are injected into a downhole fluid that is circulated to the surface. Once the encoded carrier nucleic acid molecules reach the surface, the information can be decoded and analyzed. Each carrier nucleic acid molecule may be preconfigured with a header. The header may comprise information that allows N for ease in coding and recombining downhole data.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a subsurface sensor to be positioned in a wellbore formed in a subsurface formation, wherein the subsurface sensor is to detect subsurface measurements. The apparatus includes a processor and a machine-readable medium having program code executable by the processor to cause the processor to generate a combination of functions based on the subsurface measurements, wherein the combination of functions is a subset of functions from a library of functions. The program code is executable by the processor to cause the processor to determine at least one function parameter of at least one function of the combination of functions and determine at least one formation property of the subsurface formation based on the at least one function parameter.

Abstract: A method including generating integrated computational element (ICE) models and determining a sensor response as the projection of a convolved spectrum associated with a sample library with a plurality of transmission profiles determined from the ICE models. The method includes determining a regression vector based on a multilinear regression that targets a sample characteristic with the sensor response and the sample library and determine a plurality of regression coefficients in a linear combination of ICE transmission vectors that results in the regression vector. The method further includes determining a difference between the regression vector and an optimal regression vector. The method may also include modifying the ICE models when the difference is greater than a tolerance, and fabricating ICEs based on the ICE models when the difference is within the tolerance. A device and a system for optical analysis including multiple ICEs fabricated as above, are also provided.
