Abstract: Membranes used in membrane separation technologies change over time due to changes in physical characteristics of the membrane. Predicting remaining useful lifetime of a membrane is performed by fitting an evolution model of the membrane to real-time performance characteristics recorded for the membrane and by comparing later performance characteristics of the membrane to the evolution model. Updating an evolution model during membrane operation improves estimates of remaining useful membrane lifetime and allows for accurate estimates of estimated membrane end-of-life.

Abstract: A method includes identifying linearly behaving data within obtained data associated with fluid obtained from a subterranean formation. Shrinkage factor is determined based on the linearly behaving data. A function relating GOR data of the obtained fluid with the determined shrinkage factor is determined. A first linear relationship between optical density (OD) data of the obtained fluid and the function is determined. A second linear relationship between density data of the obtained fluid and the function is determined. An oil-based mud (OBM) filtrate contamination property of OBM filtrate within the obtained fluid based on the first linear relationship is determined. A native formation property of native formation fluid within the obtained fluid based on the second linear relationship is determined. A volume fraction of OBM filtrate contamination within the obtained fluid based on the OBM filtrate contamination property and the native formation property is estimated.

Abstract: A method includes placing a downhole acquisition tool in a wellbore in a geological formation within a hydrocarbon reservoir. The wellbore or the geological formation, or both, contain a reservoir fluid. The method also includes performing downhole fluid analysis using the downhole acquisition tool in the wellbore to determine at least one measurement associated with the reservoir fluid and using a processor to: estimate at least one fluid component property by using an equation of state based at least in part on at least one measurement associated with the reservoir fluid and simulate a diffusion process using a diffusive model that takes into account the at least one estimated fluid property. The diffusive model accounts for gravitational diffusion of at least one or more components in the reservoir fluid. The method also includes using the processor to estimate one or more reservoir fluid geodynamic processes based at least in part on the at least one fluid property; compare the estimated one or more reservoir fluid geodynamic processes with the at least one measurement associated with the reservoir fluid; and output one or more reservoir fluid geodynamic processes corresponding to the at least one measurement associated with the reservoir fluid.

Abstract: A downhole tool, surface equipment, and/or remote equipment are utilized to obtain data associated with a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir, fluid contained therein, and/or fluid obtained therefrom. At least one condition indicating that a density inversion exists in the fluid contained in the reservoir is identified from the data. Molecular sizes of fluid components contained within the reservoir are estimated from the data. A model of the density inversion is generated based on the data and molecular sizes. The density inversion model is utilized to estimate the density inversion amount and depth and time elapsed since the density inversion began to form within the reservoir. A model of a gravity-induced current of the density inversion is generated based on the data and the density inversion amount, depth, and elapsed time.

Abstract: A technique facilitates fluid analysis in situ at a downhole location. According to an embodiment, a sample of fluid, e.g. oil, is obtained from a reservoir at the downhole location in a borehole. A downhole sampling system is used to determine contamination of the sample of fluid and to determine other selected characteristics of the sample. The data obtained is then processed to determine a true phase transition property of a native fluid in the sample of fluid. The sample analysis may be performed at selected stations along the borehole during, for example, a well cleanup operation. The immediate analysis of fluid samples downhole facilitates rapid development of an understanding of fluid characteristics in the reservoir, thus enabling an improved oil recovery strategy.

Abstract: Methods of operating membrane processes, such as seawater purification processes, are described herein. The methods generally include flowing seawater into a membrane purification process; recovering purified seawater and concentrated seawater from the membrane purification process; sensing operating parameters of the membrane purification process; determining a state of the membrane purification process from the operating parameters using a physical model; using a statistical model to resolve a time dependence of the state of the membrane purification process; using a recursive statistical process to update the statistical model; using the updated statistical model to predict a future state of the membrane purification process; comparing the predicted future state of the membrane purification process to a threshold state; and predicting a remaining time before the membrane purification process reaches the threshold state.
