    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a hydrocarbon type for a source sample are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a thermal maturity relationship and the source sample from a geological region of interest. The method further includes separating aromatic fraction from the source sample, and separating, measuring, and identifying responses of the aromatic fraction using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and determining a thermal maturity ratio using the responses. The method still further includes determining a thermal maturity indicator using the thermal maturity ratio and the thermal maturity relationship and determining the hydrocarbon type based on the thermal maturity indicator. The system includes a ball mill, a pipette column, a GC-MS system, and a computer processor.

    Abstract: An electric submersible pump (ESP) including: a switched reluctance motor (SRM) including stator coils. The number of the stator coils is a multiple of three, surface electronics that drive the SRM, a cable that connects the SRM to the surface electronics. The cable includes conductors in a number equal to the number of the stator coils, each cable includes a push-pull driver that connects the cable to a ground, a DC voltage different from the ground, or disconnects the cable.

    Abstract: A precursor cement slurry includes a cement powder, water, and an additive. The additive includes a cement bond enhancer and a non-aqueous fluid additive. The non-aqueous fluid additive is an internal phase and the cement bond enhancer stabilizes the non-aqueous fluid additive in the form of a Pickering emulsion within the precursor cement slurry. The cement bond enhancer is comprised of the reaction product of graphene oxide with an anchoring functionality. A method of forming the precursor cement slurry and a method of cementing an annular space within a wellbore are also provided.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining total stresses and pore pressures of each porous medium of a formation, determining a first and second set of effective stresses for the formation, determining an individual collapse and fracturing mud weight for each porous medium of the formation using a first set of associated failure criteria, wherein the first set of associated failure criteria are based on the first set of effective stresses, determining an overall collapse and fracturing mud weight for the formation using a second set of associated failure criteria, wherein the second set of associated failure criteria is based on the second set of effective stresses, determining a mud weight window for the formation using the individual collapse mud weight, the individual fracturing mud weight, the overall collapse mud weight, and the overall fracturing mud weight, and transmitting a command to a drilling system based on the mud weight window.

    Abstract: A system includes a housing configured to be secured to the casing string. The housing has a ring shape defining a central orifice for passage of the fluid and an interior surface facing the central orifice. A reflectometer is mounted on the interior surface and is configured to emit a microwave signal into the fluid in the central orifice, receive a reflected microwave signal from the central orifice, and determine a microwave reflection parameter. An acoustic transceiver is also mounted on the interior surface and is configured to emit an acoustic signal into the fluid in the central orifice, receive a reflected acoustic signal from the central orifice, and determine an acoustic reflection parameter. A processor is configured to determine the property of the fluid from the microwave reflection parameter and the acoustic reflection parameter.
