Abstract: Fluid properties like viscosity, yield strength, and density may be measured by analyzing fluid motion in response to disturbing the surface of the fluid. For example, a method may include disturbing a surface of a fluid in one or more locations, thereby forming a deformation and waves at the surface of the fluid for the one or more locations; imaging and measuring at least one selected from the group consisting of the deformation, the waves, and a combination thereof; and calculating a property of the fluid based on the at least one selected from the group consisting of the deformation, the waves, and a combination thereof, the property selected from the group consisting of viscosity, yield strength, density, and any combination thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the composition of a drilling fluid using electro-rheology may be provided. A method for drilling a wellbore may include: circulating a drilling fluid in a wellbore; extending the wellbore into one or more subterranean formations; measuring impedance of at least a portion of the drilling fluid over time as one or more particulate additives in the drilling fluid settle; determining one or more model elements of an equivalent circuit model for modeling frequency responses of the drilling fluid from the impedance; and determining sag behavior of the drilling fluid based, at least partially, on the one or more model elements.

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: The disclosed embodiments include an optical fiber having a graphene coating, a method to apply a graphene coating onto an optical fiber, and a fiber optic cable having a graphene coating. In one embodiment, the optical fiber includes an optical core that extends along a longitudinal axis. The optical fiber also includes a carbon based coating that covers the optical core along the longitudinal axis. The optical fiber also includes a layer of graphene formed on a first surface of the carbon based coating. The layer of graphene is formed from a laser induction process that includes focusing a laser beam at the carbon based coating to photothermally convert the first surface of the carbon based coating into graphene.

Abstract: Disclosed are telemetry systems and methods that employ a plurality of electromagnetic transceivers disposed outside a well casing string at a corresponding plurality of depths along the casing string. Each transceiver includes one or more toroidal inductors circumferentially surrounding the casing string and inductively coupled thereto to allow signal transmission between transceivers via currents induced in the casing. In some embodiments, signals are relayed via a chain of transceivers to facilitate indirect communication between a surface facility and other transceivers located too deep for direct communication to the surface.

Abstract: A method includes collecting tracer concentration measurements from a flow stream in a borehole as a function of time. The method also includes recovering an uplink telemetry signal from the collected tracer concentration measurements, wherein the uplink telemetry signal conveys a downhole tool measurement or communication. The method also includes performing an operation in response to the recovered uplink telemetry signal.

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.
