The pressure readout element 20 comprises a light source 24 for providing an incident beam of a determined wavelength range directed towards the cavity and an optical spectral analyzer 25 for measuring a power spectrum of a return beam reflected by the cavity, and processing means 27 for determining the cavity length d and the fluid pressure P1 based on the power spectrum.
摘要:
An oil sample is subjected to nuclear electromagnetic irradiation downhole, and the electron and/or mass density of the oil sample is determined by measuring the attenuation of the irradiation and relating the attenuation to the electron density. If the irradiation is high energy gamma ray irradiation, the attenuation is considered to be a function of Compton scattering only, which in turn is related to the electron density of the sample. If X-rays are utilized, attenuation is preferably measured in two energy windows. Using the two different attenuation values found in the different windows, the attenuation due to Compton scattering can be found and related to the electron and/or mass density of the sample. In addition, attenuation due to photoelectric absorption may also be determined and related to the presence of one or more heavy elements in the oil (e.g., sulfur) and/or sanding.

Methods and apparatuses for investigating formations surrounding a borehole involve acquiring a fluorescent signal over a portion of the borehole and analyzing the signal to detect the presence of crude oil. Analyzing the signal to detect the presence of crude oil may involve distinguishing mineral fluorescence from oil fluorescence. The signal may be analyzed further to distinguish characteristics of the crude oil, such as its grade (light, medium or heavy), and to indicate a physical property correlated with the fluorescence, such as the presence of laminations or formation permeability. In some embodiments, fluorescence signals from illuminating the portion of the borehole with at least two different wavelengths of light are analyzed.

A method of locating in situ hydrocarbons in underground formations comprises illuminating the borehole wall with light such as visible, infrared or ultraviolet light or combinations of these, from a source in a tool such as a wireline logging tool or an LWD tool, detecting any fluorescent radiation with a detector in the tool and analyzing the florescent radiation to determine the presence of hydrocarbon in the formation. The tool is moved through the borehole while irradiating the formation and detecting fluorescence. The borehole wall is illuminated and fluorescence detected through a window in the tool which is pressed against the borehole wall with sufficient force to displace any mudcake. The window is made of a wear resistant material such sapphire or diamond and is conveniently secured in a wear resistant housing which might be made of tungsten carbide or the like.
摘要:
Single point optical probes for measuring three-phase characteristics of fluid flow in a hydrocarbon well and methods of processing signals generated by the probe are disclosed. A single fiber optic probe is coupled to a light source and apparatus for detecting reflectance and fluorescence. Light is delivered to the tip of the probe where it exits the probe and illuminates the liquid ambient the probe tip or is internally reflected in the probe when gas is located at the probe tip. If the fluid at the probe tip is oil, the light exits the probe, illuminates the oil, and causes the oil to fluoresce. According to one signal processing method of the invention, the reflectance signal is binarized at a threshold to provide a gas/liquid quasi-binary signal which changes over time. A time fraction of the signal values is used to calculate the gas holdup. According to other signal processing methods of the invention, the fluorescence indication signal is processed by taking its derivative (and if desired a second derivative) to determine the "corners" of the fluorescence signal over time. The derivative signal exhibits a positive and a negative peak which are separated by time. The time between the peaks is used to calculate oil holdup and the amplitude of one of the peaks is used to calculate the velocity of the oil drop.

摘要:
A borehole tool analyzes the composition of gases flowing from a formation. The tool includes an optical fluid analyzer (OFA) and a gas analysis module (GAM). The OFA determines when fluid flowing into the tool has become substantially only gas. The gas is then diverted to the GAM, thereby avoiding the possibility of oil depositing itself on a optical window and interfering with a proper analysis. The GAM includes a near infrared ray light source, at least one photo-detector, a gas sample cell (or cells) having portions with different path lengths, each portion having an optical window, and fiber optics which direct light in first paths from the source to the sample cell, and from the sample cell to the photo-detectors. By providing cells with different path lengths, issues of dynamic range are obviated. The GAM also preferably includes a second optical path which goes directly from the light source to the photo-detectors and is used for canceling drift, and a third optical path which goes from the light source, through a known standard such as methane to the photo-detectors and is used for compensation of shifts in actual hydrocarbon peak locations or shifts in optical filter wavelengths. Analysis of the different hydrocarbon gas components of the gas stream is conducted by analysis of selected CH vibrational peaks in the 5700 cm.sup.-1 to 6100 cm.sup.-1 range.
