Abstract: The present disclosure relates to vibration frequency sensors comprising a vibratable flow tube having an interior for receiving a fluid, a vibration detector coupled to the flow tube for detecting a frequency of the fluid received by the flow tube during vibration thereof; and measurement circuitry coupled to the vibration detector for determining a frequency shift over time of the detected frequency. At least a portion of a surface of the interior of the flow tube is functionalized with a reactant sensitive to the analyte, and the frequency shift corresponds to the presence of the analyte, the analyte having reacted with the reactant.

Abstract: Optical computing devices may include capacitance-based nanomaterial detectors. For example, an optical computing device may include a light source that emits electromagnetic radiation into an optical train extending from the light source to a capacitance-based nanomaterial detector; a material positioned in the optical train to optically interact with the electromagnetic radiation and produce optically interacted light; and the capacitance-based nanomaterial detector comprising one or more nano-sized materials configured to have a resonantly-tuned absorption spectrum and being configured to receive the optically interacted light, apply a vector related to the characteristic of interest to the optically interacted light using the resonantly-tuned absorption spectrum, and generate an output signal indicative of the characteristic of interest.

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: Methods and systems for substantially simultaneous evaluation of rock sample permeability and porosity, and composition of formation fluids, are provided. Such methods and systems may be used to evaluate the permeability, porosity, and composition of at least a portion of a subterranean formation in a drilling operation. An example of such a method may include passing a cleaning fluid through the rock sample so as to extract at least a portion of one or more formation fluids from the rock sample in an effluent comprising the cleaning fluid and the portion of the one or more formation fluids; and determining one or more properties of the effluent so as to determine the composition of the portion of the one or more formation fluids, and so as to determine the permeability and porosity of the rock sample.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for configuring an integrated computational element (ICE) to measure a property of a sample of interest. The system includes an illumination source to provide a sample light which is reflected from or transmitted through a sample. A dispersive element disperses the sample light into wavelength portions. An intensity modulation device having an array of electronically controllable modulation elements is disclosed that forms a pattern which modulates the dispersed sample light. Collection optics focuses the modulated sample light on a detector, which generates a signal that correlates to a property of the sample. The electronically controllable modulation elements can be readily altered to conform to a different measurable property of a sample of interest as desired.

Abstract: Various embodiments include apparatus and methods to utilize fluid phase behavior interpretation to increase sensor measurement accuracy. In some embodiments, a downhole sensor measures detector responses within a measurement sample of a downhole fluid. The measured detector responses are acquired from the downhole sensor. A correlation factor is generated as a scalar product between a vector of the measured detector responses and a vector of known responses. The correlation factor has a value within a fixed interval, one end of the fixed interval corresponding to a high correlation status and an opposite end of the fixed interval corresponding to an uncorrelated status. The correlation factor is compared to a correlation threshold for a specified material and sets of data having correlation factors greater than the correlation threshold are identified.
