    摘要: Samples of hydrocarbon are obtained with a coring tool. An analysis of some thermal or electrical properties of the core samples may be performed downhole. The core samples may also be preserved in containers sealed and/or refrigerated prior to being brought uphole for analysis. The hydrocarbon trapped in the pore space of the core samples may be extracted from the core samples downhole. The extracted hydrocarbon may be preserved in chambers and/or analyzed downhole.

    摘要: A method of retrieving a formation fluid from a formation adjacent a borehole wall includes estimating at least one of a permeability of the formation and a viscosity of the formation fluid. A first tool is selected based on the estimation, the first tool being selected from one of a heating and sampling tool, an injection and sampling tool, and a coring tool. An attempt to retrieve a formation fluid sample from the formation is then made with the first tool, and a formation fluid sample is retrieved from the formation. A second retrieval process may then be initiated, in which the second retrieval process includes increasing the mobility of the formation fluid.

    摘要: Electrostatic transducers (10, 100) for generating and/or sensing percussion waves have an internal rigid unitary element comprising an insulating sleeve (17, 117), an electrode backplate (21, 121) situated within the sleeve (17, 117), and a dielectric layer (22, 122) which secures the electrode backplate (21, 121) within the sleeve (17, 117). The dielectric layer (22, 122) is a generally continuous layer and has support fingers (24, 124) protruding outwardly away from the electrode backplate (21, 121) for supporting an electrode diaphragm (26, 126), preferably a durable metal foil. The electrode diaphragm (26, 126) may be hermetically sealed to a housing (111), which encloses the unitary element so that the transducers (10, 100) are better suited for harsh, extreme high/low temperature, and/or extreme high/low pressure environments. Furthermore, the interior region (32, 132) of the transducer (10, 100) can be evacuated via a throughway (31, 131) so that the transducer power can be increased.
