摘要: Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to determining flaring efficiency of a flare based at least in part on radiant or thermal heat generated by the flare that is detected by one or more flare monitors. In particular, in certain embodiments, a control system may be used to determine a flaring efficiency of the combustion of the flare gas at the tip of the flare based at least in part on the radiant or thermal heat detected by the one or more flare monitors.

摘要: Systems and methods presented herein are configured to monitor gas storage in a well and, more specifically, to invert optical measurements to predict the fractional molar composition of an unknown composition of a gas mixture comprised of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, other gases, or combinations thereof, in any underground reservoir or salt dome where hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and/or the other gases are stored or exist.

摘要: Systems and methods are described for locating hydrocarbons near a wellbore, determining petrochemical properties of a reservoir, and assessing hydrocarbon saturation between reservoirs. The nanoparticles can be positively charged and have properties that make them explode upon contacting crude oil. Sensors can be strategically placed near the wellbore to measure micro tremors caused by nanoparticle explosions. When the fluid is pumped into the wellbore, the fluid is forced into the surrounding rock formations. The fluid can contact crude oil in the rock formations, and the nanoparticles can attract to the fluid/oil interface due to negatively charged particles in the crude oil. When the nanoparticles reach the fluid/oil interface, they can contact the crude oil and explode. The seismic sensors can detect micro tremors caused by the nanoparticle explosions. The seismic sensor readings can be superimposed to identify the location of the crude oil and assess hydrocarbon saturation.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for fugitive emission detection. In some embodiments, the method can include planning and performing aerial inspections of a plurality of structures within one or more facilities by determining a flight path for a scanning of fugitive emissions from a plurality of structures within one or more facilities. The flight path can cover a set of structure clusters that can be serviced by a base. The method can also include using a computer-implemented clustering method to identify the set of structure clusters that can be serviced by the respective base. The clustering method can be a hierarchical multilevel clustering method. The method can also include scanning the plurality of structures for fugitive emissions using an airborne sensor. The airborne sensor can be mounted to a flight vehicle launched from the base. The method can also include classifying the plurality of structures based on results of the scanning.

摘要: Apparatus and method for Raman-spectrography based measurement of the composition of gas mixture in a high-temperature borehole. The method includes any of determining molar densities of individual alkanes of the mixture, introducing refractive index corrections, utilization of reference species internally to the measurement apparatus, correction for the effect of self-absorption and cross-absorption, as well as minimizing fluorescence when a liquid fraction is present in the borehole. The apparatus is configured to detect vibrational bands of CH, OH, CC, HS, NN and CO functional groups as well as collective modes in the fingerprint spectral region.

摘要: Wellbore fluid analysis is provided. In some implementation, a fluid analysis apparatus includes a transparent chip with an inlet configured to accept a sample of a wellbore fluid, and a flow channel allowing the wellbore fluid to come into contact with a reagent. The fluid analysis apparatus also includes two partially transmissible mirrors positioned on opposing sides of the flow channel forming an optical cavity. In another implementation, a downhole tool includes a fluid analysis apparatus with a partially transparent chip having a flow channel allowing a wellbore fluid to come into contact with a reagent. The fluid analysis apparatus also includes a measurement system that can be used in conjunction with broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy.

摘要: A method for downhole fluid analysis by optical spectroscopy with photoacoustic detection includes positioning a photoacoustic system within a wellbore, applying a laser pulse to the fluid sample using the pulsed laser system, detecting, by the acoustic sensor, a time-resolved acoustic pulse generated by absorption of the laser pulse by the fluid sample, and determining a property of the fluid sample using the detected time resolved acoustic pulse. The photoacoustic system includes a pulsed laser system and an acoustic sensor.
