    Abstract: Systems and methods for measurement of the oil content in oil-based drilling may be provided in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. A method for measuring oil content of an oil-based drilling fluid may include providing a sample of the oil-based drilling fluid. The method may further include performing electro impedance spectroscopy on the sample by a process that comprises applying an alternating electric current to the sample and measuring a response of sample to obtain electro impedance spectroscopy measurements. The method may further include determining an estimate of the oil content of the sample based, at least partially on the electro impedance spectroscopy measurements.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring material loss in a downhole environment arising from corrosion and/or erosion include placing a downhole sensor in a borehole. The resistance of the downhole sensor is measured using a four-probe resistance technique in which a power source is provided at two electrodes of the downhole sensor and voltage is measured at two voltage taps. A rise in voltage over time indicates loss of conductive material on the downhole sensor. The conductive material on the downhole sensor may be formed to provide discrete voltage increases for improving reliability of material loss and/or rate of material loss resistance measurements.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method of determining a pore throat size distribution of reservoir rock, comprising injecting a set of different-sized probe particles through a portion of reservoir rock and measuring retention volumes or times of each of the different-sized probe particles eluting from the portion of reservoir rock. This disclosure also provides a testing apparatus comprising a probe tube for receiving a set of different-sized probe particles in an elution fluid returning from a portion of reservoir rock and an analytical module connected to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube. The module includes a flow cell to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube, a radiation source positioned to direct a radiation beam though a window of the cell into the eluting fluid in the cell, and a sensor for detecting portions of the radiation beam that have interacted with the different-sized probe particles such that retention volumes or times each of the probe particles of one size class can be distinguished from all other size classes of the set.

    Abstract: A system and method for signal communication using a piezoelectric fiber composite (PFC) sensor. A telemetry module is locatable within a borehole intersecting a subterranean earth formation. The PFC sensor is coupled to a carrier in communication with the telemetry module. The PFC sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a stress in the carrier. A processor in communication with the PFC sensor is configured to convert the signal generated by the PFC sensor into a telemetry signal transmitted by the telemetry module.
