Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for fluid characterization of fluid samples from a downhole fluid sampling tool. A fluid characterization method may include obtaining a fluid sample of a reservoir fluid; analyzing the fluid sample to derive input parameters, wherein the input parameters comprise fluid properties obtained from measurement of the fluid sample; determining component mole fractions of the fluid sample using a mole fraction distribution function; and determining calculated fluid properties using equation of state flash calculating.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for using elastocaloric materials in subterranean formations. A variety of downhole packages, for example, electronic packages and instrumentation packages, are utilized in subterranean formations during hydrocarbon exploration and production operations. Downhole packages are typically designed to operate below a maximum temperature. When a downhole package is placed in the subterranean formation, its temperature may increase as a result of the natural temperature of the subterranean formation in which it is being used. Additionally, many of these downhole packages used downhole generate heat during operation which may raise the temperature of the downhole package. Reaching or exceeding the maximum temperature of a downhole package may result in ineffective operation and/or complete destruction of the downhole package. As a result, the downhole package may need to be frequently replaced. Furthermore, additional steps may be needed to ensure the temperature in the subterranean formation does not exceed the design temperature of the downhole packages and/or to cool downhole packages prior to being introduced into the subterranean formation.

Abstract: An apparatus to determine fluid viscosities downhole in real-time includes a housing and an excitation element positioned therein. Electrical circuitry provides a drive signal that excites an excitation element into rotational oscillations. A detector produces a response signal correlating to the detected oscillating movement of the excitation element. Circuitry onboard the apparatus utilizes the drive and response signals to determine the fluid viscosity.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for measuring a speed of sound in a fluid in a well bore may include a frame adapted to receive the fluid there through are provided. The apparatus includes an acoustic source mounted on the frame; an acoustic detector to measure a signal propagating through the fluid, the acoustic detector disposed proximate the frame at a known distance from the acoustic source; and a test circuit adapted to synchronize the acoustic detector with a signal propagating through the frame. A method to determine physical properties of a fluid in a geological formation including a shear wave anisotropy in the geological formation and the formation composition using the fluid density and the fluid speed of sound is also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of fabricating an integrated computational element for use in an optical computing device. One method includes providing a substrate that has a first surface and a second surface substantially opposite the first surface, depositing multiple optical thin films on the first and second surfaces of the substrate via a thin film deposition process, and thereby generating a multilayer film stack device, cleaving the substrate to produce at least two optical thin film stacks, and securing one or more of the at least two optical thin film stacks to a secondary optical element for use as an integrated computational element (ICE).
