摘要： An apparatus and a method including exposing a first fluid to a pre-filter, observing the first fluid, introducing a second fluid to the first fluid, exposing the first and second fluids to a filter, and observing the first and second fluids wherein the observing the first fluid and observing the first and second fluids comprise optical measurements and the first fluid comprises material from a subterranean formation. Some embodiments may compare the optical measurements of the first fluid and the first and second fluids and/or estimate the first fluid's likelihood of forming precipitants with other fluids and/or the first fluid's asphaltene content. An apparatus and method for characterizing a fluid property including a pre-filter in communication with a fluid from a formation, an optical sensor to observe the fluid from the pre-filter, a fluid combination device in communication with the fluid and a second fluid source, a filter in communication with the combination device, a second optical sensor to observe a third fluid from the filter, and a processor to compare data collected by the sensor and second sensor.

摘要： Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to process measurements of wires vibrating in fluids are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a downhole assembly and a surface assembly. The downhole assembly including a sensor to measure a waveform representative of a motion of a wire vibrating within a fluid at a downhole location in a wellbore, a waveform modeler to compute a model parameter from the measured waveform, and a first telemetry module to transmit the computed model parameter to a surface location. The surface assembly including a second telemetry module to receive the computed model parameter from the downhole assembly, and a viscosity analyzer to estimate a viscosity of the fluid from the computed model parameter.

摘要： A gas separation and detection tool for performing in situ analysis of borehole fluid is described. The tool operates by introducing a reagent to a test sample and causing the resulting mixture to flow through a microfluidic channel where optical testing is performed. The optical testing detects a change in a characteristic of the reagent in response to expose to one or more particular substances in the test sample. The test sample may be borehole fluid, a mixture of borehole fluid and scrubbing fluid subsequently mixed with reagent, a mixture of reagent and gas separated from borehole fluid, or a mixture of scrubbing fluid and gas separated from borehole fluid which is subsequently mixed with reagent. A membrane may be employed to separate one or more target gasses from the borehole fluid.
