    摘要: Methods and related systems are described for measuring acoustic signals in a borehole during a fracturing operation. The system includes a downhole toolstring designed and adapted for deployment in a borehole formed within a subterranean rock formation. A downhole rock fracturing tool opens and propagates a fracture in the subterranean rock formation. Dipole and/or quadrupole acoustic sources transmit acoustic energy into the subterranean rock formation. A receiver array measures acoustic energy traveling through the subterranean rock formation before, during and after the fracture induction. Geophones mounted on extendable arms can be used to measure shear wave acoustic energy travelling in the rock formation. The toolstring can be constructed such that the sources and receivers straddle the fracture zone during the fracturing. Alternatively, the sources or the receivers can co-located axially with the fracture zone, or the toolstring can be repositioned following fracturing such that the fracture zone is between the acoustic sources and receivers.

    摘要: Methods of and apparatus to estimate one or more volumes of one or more components of a fluid in a sample chamber of a downhole tool are described. An example method includes obtaining a sample chamber volume measurement, a flowline volume measurement and a supplemental volume measurement. The example method includes drawing the fluid into the sample chamber until the sample chamber is substantially full and measuring a characteristic of the fluid in the sample chamber at a first time to obtain a first characteristic measurement. The example method also includes adding a supplemental volume corresponding to the supplemental volume measurement to over-pressurize the sample chamber after measuring the characteristic at the first time and measuring the characteristic of the fluid in the sample chamber at a second time to obtain a second characteristic measurement. The second time is after the sample chamber is over-pressurized. In addition, the example method includes calculating a first volume of a first component of the one or more components of the fluid based on the first characteristic measurement, the second characteristic measurement, the sample chamber volume measurement, the flowline volume measurement and the supplemental volume measurement.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to determine a concentration of nitrogen in a downhole fluid are described. An example apparatus to determine a concentration of nitrogen in a downhole fluid includes a fluid measurement unit to measure a first fluid composition and a density of at least a hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide in a sample of the downhole fluid. Additionally, the example apparatus includes one or more sensors to measure at least a pressure and a temperature of the sample. Further, the example apparatus includes a processing unit to determine a first theoretical density based on at least the first fluid composition, the temperature, and the pressure the sample. Further still, the example apparatus includes an analyzer to determine a first difference between the density of at least the hydrocarbon and the carbon dioxide in the sample and the first theoretical density. The first difference is associated with a concentration of nitrogen in the sample.
