    Abstract: A method can include receiving, by a demulsifier analysis framework, tensiometer data for an oil and water field sample that includes an added candidate demulsifier, where the tensiometer data include rheology data with respect to frequency and where the demulsifier analysis framework includes a model derived at least in part on bottle test data for demulsifiers in oil and water emulsions; determining a performance characteristic for the candidate demulsifier with respect to the oil and water field sample using the tensiometer data as input to the model of the demulsifier analysis framework without performing a bottle test on the oil and water field sample; and outputting, by the demulsifier analysis framework, the performance characteristic for the candidate demulsifier with respect to breaking an emulsion of the oil and water field sample.

    Abstract: A method for determining thermal maturity of a formation sample. The method includes: cleaning the formation sample to remove residues of drilling fluid and reservoir fluid to obtain a cleaned sample; performing Raman spectroscopic measurements on the cleaned sample to obtain a Raman spectrum for the cleaned sample; fitting at least a G (graphite) peak and a D1 (defect) peak to the Raman spectrum to obtain Raman shift values for the G peak and the D1 peak and a Raman band separation (RBS) value; using the RBS to generate a vitrinite reflection equivalent (VRe) value using a relationship correlating RBS to VRe; and displaying the VRe as an indicator of formation sample maturity for a depth in the formation from which the cleaned sample was obtained.

    Abstract: A method of selecting paraffin inhibitors for a target crude oil includes inputting one of more known properties of a target crude oil into a machine learning model and extrapolating unknown properties of a historical data set using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained on the historical data set that includes one or more properties of a plurality of crude oils, one or more properties of a plurality of paraffin inhibitors, and one or more paraffin inhibiting efficiencies of the paraffin inhibitors with the plurality of crude oils. Paraffin inhibiting efficiency is predicted based on the historical data set and extrapolated unknown properties for the plurality of paraffin inhibitors that may be used with the target crude oil. One or more of a list of crude oils having one or more properties within a numerical tolerance of the properties of the target crude oil, a list of paraffin inhibitors for use with the target crude oil, and a list of paraffin inhibitor properties are output.
