    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining a presence, type, or amount of an analyte in fluid. An analyte sensor can include a substrate that includes a chiral molecule for sensing the presence of the analyte in the fluid. A property of the chiral molecule may change in response to sensing the presence of the analyte. The change in the property of the chiral molecule can cause a change in polarization of a beam of light traveling through the substrate. The presence, type, or amount of the analyte can be determined based on the change in polarization of the beam of light. The analyte sensor, along with optical fibers, can be used to determine the presence, type, or amount of an analyte in a fluid sample from a wellbore.

    摘要: This disclosure provides a method of determining a pore throat size distribution of reservoir rock, comprising injecting a set of different-sized probe particles through a portion of reservoir rock and measuring retention volumes or times of each of the different-sized probe particles eluting from the portion of reservoir rock. This disclosure also provides a testing apparatus comprising a probe tube for receiving a set of different-sized probe particles in an elution fluid returning from a portion of reservoir rock and an analytical module connected to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube. The module includes a flow cell to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube, a radiation source positioned to direct a radiation beam though a window of the cell into the eluting fluid in the cell, and a sensor for detecting portions of the radiation beam that have interacted with the different-sized probe particles such that retention volumes or times each of the probe particles of one size class can be distinguished from all other size classes of the set.
