摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for analyzing fluids. The method for analyzing a chemical sample within a wellbore, contained within an interrogation device, may comprise broadcasting a coherent light from a frequency comb module, directing the coherent light through a fiber optic line to the interrogation device, irradiating the chemical sample with the coherent light, capturing light resulting from the irradiation of the chemical sample, and producing a spectrum resulting from the captured light from the chemical sample. A frequency comb system for analyzing a chemical sample may comprise a frequency comb module configured to broadcast a coherent light and a fiber optic line that extends into a wellbore to an interrogation device. The interrogation device may further be configured to contain the chemical sample for irradiation by the coherent light. The frequency comb system may further comprise a receiver and an information handling system.

摘要: A downhole sensing method includes modulating light to form a soliton that propagates through an optical fiber acting as a sensing element that measures a downhole parameter. The method further includes obtaining scattered light created as the soliton propagates through the optical fiber. The method further includes determining a value for a downhole parameter based on the scattered light, and displaying a representation of the value.

摘要: A method and system are disclosed that provide chemical composition data of a fluid. The system includes a first downhole electro-opto-mechanical device to transmit microwave radiation through the fluid. The microwave radiation is generated by the first downhole electro-opto-mechanical device in response to a first light signal. A second downhole electro-opto-mechanical device receives the microwave radiation and generates a second light signal in response to the received microwave radiation. A light detection device is coupled to the second downhole electro-opto-mechanical device to generate an electrical signal in response to the second light signal. The electrical signal is indicative of the chemical composition of the fluid.

摘要: A system and method for making measurements inside a wellbore makes use of a diamond crystal with a nitrogen vacancy center (NV-center) to sense temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, strain, electric fields, or other parameters of the downhole environment. The system includes a microwave source that can be positioned to produce microwaves inside the wellbore and a light source that can be positioned to produce interrogation light inside the wellbore. The NV-center of the diamond is struck by the interrogation light. A spectrometer can be adapted to receive the excitation light output from the NV-center and produce a spectrum of the excitation light. The spectrum is indicative of the value of the parameter inside the wellbore.
