Abstract:
This invention relates to a system and method for detecting target molecules using an optical sensor element comprising a photonic crystal constituted by a membrane of a chosen transparent material, being provided with a number of defined openings in a chosen pattern, a chosen number of said openings providing a capture molecules having a high affinity to said target molecules, the pattern being adapted to provide resonance at a chosen wavelength, or range of wavelengths. The system and method also moving a first fluid flow containing target molecules through said openings and after this conducting a second fluid flow containing a second reactant being different from said capture molecules but having a high affinity for the target molecules but a low affinity for other possible molecules in said first flow. By illuminating said sensor element at said chosen wavelength thus obtaining a resonance and imaging means for providing an image of said sensor element it is possible to detect tight leaking from the resonator. Analyzing means may then detect the captured molecules as well as the reactant having reacted with them based on the amount of light leaking from, the resonator.

Abstract:
It is described a method and a system for wireless in-situ sampling of a reservoir fluid from a hydrocarbon reservoir comprising obtaining a number of local samples of the reservoir fluid from different zones of the reservoir at given times. Local characterization of production fluid is obtained based on identifying chemical fingerprints of each of the number of local samples. This information can be used to determine local production rates from different zones in the well or from coming led wells.
