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.

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： 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.
