    Abstract: The present invention describes a unique method and apparatus for applying near-infrared spectroscopy to estimate weight percent of methane in crude oil from which one can then infer gas-oil ratio (GOR) of crude oils downhole in real time while collecting a fluid sample. The correlation equations provided by this invention use two wavelengths, one centered at 1670 and the other centered at 1682 nm. Both wavelengths are primarily sensitive to the methane peak absorption. To significantly improve the fit, non-spectroscopic parameters, such as temperature or pressure, can be included in the correlation equation. Also, this invention can be used to monitor sample cleanup by monitoring the increase in GOR associated with cleanup as a fluid being pumped from the formation transitions from mostly gas-free filtrate to mostly gas-containing crude oil.

    Abstract: A method of determining properties of a formation fluid based on measurements of fluid sound speed, a measurement of fluid density, or both. The properties include compressibility, thermal conductivity, and gas oil ratio. The compressibility of a fluid is equal to the reciprocal of the product of the sound speed squared and fluid density. The density and the sound speed can be measured acoustically. The method further includes a manner of processing data including applying the Savitzky-Golay method and utilizing a variable thresholding technique.

    Abstract: A method for determining a parameter of interest of a formation fluid, comprises moving a tool attached to a tubular member along a borehole in a subterranean formation. The tool is used to determine a formation fluid pressure and a formation fluid temperature at predetermined locations along the borehole and calculating a formation fluid density along the borehole therefrom. A density of a reference fluid is determined along the borehole and is related to the formation fluid pressure and the formation fluid temperature. The parameter of interest of the formation fluid is determined at a predetermined location from a comparison of the corresponding formation fluid density and the reference fluid density at the predetermined location.

    Abstract: A cooling system in which an electronic device or other component is cooled by using one or more solid sources of liquid vapor (such as polymeric absorbents, hydrates or desiccants that desorb water at comparatively low temperature) in conjunction with one or more high-temperature vapor sorbents or desiccants that effectively transfer heat from the component to the fluid in the wellbore. Depending on the wellbore temperature, desiccants are provided that release water at various high regeneration temperatures such as molecular sieve (220-250° C.), potassium carbonate (300° C.), magnesium oxide (800° C.) and calcium oxide (1000° C.). A solid water source is provided using a water-absorbent polymer, such as sodium polyacrylate. Heat transfer is controlled in part by a check valve selected to release water vapor at a selected vapor pressure.

    Abstract: An apparatus as method for identifying, locating, and retrieving a downhole tool from a borehole. A controller is lowered into the borehole and is capable of detecting a signal from the tool. The signal can be broadcast from the tool, can be generated in response to a signal from the controller, or can be reflected from a controller signal. The controller processes the signal to identify the location and heading of the controller from the tool, and to guide the controller toward the tool. When the controller is moved proximate to the tool, a catch mechanism can be activated to connect the tool and controller housing. The tool is then dislodged for further operation, or is retrieved to the borehole surface.

    Abstract: The present invention is a method for improving the estimation of physical properties of a material based on the infrared spectrum of the material and the correlation between directly-measured properties of interest and the infrared spectra of a representative set of calibration specimens of the material. By intentionally introducing spectral distortion such as transmittance shifts, wavelength shifts, absorbance-baseline shifts and absorbance-baseline tilts into the infrared spectra of the representative specimens and then determining the correlation between the distorted spectra and the directly-measured properties before applying the correlation to the infrared spectrum of the sample being analyzed, the correlation is self-compensating for the types of distortion introduced.
