    摘要: A refractive index FOCS has a fiber optic core with a partly light transmissive thin metal film clad of an effective thickness and light transmissivity so that transmission through the core is strongly affected by the refractive index of a surrounding liquid or vapor medium. The metal clad and surrounding medium produce a localized refractive index at the core interface which modulates light transmission through the core as a function of the medium refractive index. The clad is made of platinum, or also of gold, rhodium, palladium, nickel, iron, cobalt, ruthenium, iridium, osmium, zinc, copper, silver, chronium, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, titanium, zirconium or hafnium. The clad is also made of oxides of these metals, or metal compounds or alloys. With a fluorescent tip, the changes in the fluorescent signal are a measure of the medium refractive index. With a reflective tip, the changes in the reflected signal are measured. In a linear configuration, source and detector are placed at opposite ends of the fiber and changes in the transmitted signal are measured as a function of refractive index. Multiple measurements with multiple clads of different specificity can be made. The multiple clads can be on a single fiber or on separate fibers.

    摘要: A fiber optic chemical sensor is made water repellent by attaching a plurality of long, hydrophobic chains, e.g. silane polymers, to the surface. The chains extend from the surface and form a semi-permeable barrier which repels water molecules while selectively passing analyte molecules therethrough. In one configuration, the hydrophobic chains are attached substantially uniformly over the clad. In a second configuration, the clad is a plurality of spaced stripes with the hydrophobic chains attached in the gaps between the stripes. In another configuration, a patterned hydrophobic coating of alternating thick and thin segments is formed on the clad.

    摘要: Solvent-type flooding fluids comprising light hydrocarbons in the range of ethane to hexane (and mixtures thereof) are used to displace crude oil in formations having temperatures of about 20 degrees to about 150 degrees Centigrade and pressures above about 650 psi, the light hydrocarbons having dissolved therein from about 0.05% to about 3% of an organotin compound of the formula R.sub.3 SnF where each R is independently an alkyl, aryl or alkyaryl group from 3 to 12 carbon atoms. Under the pressures and temperatures described, the organotin compounds become pentacoordinated and linked through the electronegative bridges, forming polymers within the light hydrocarbon flooding media to render them highly viscous. Under ambient conditions, the viscosity control agents will not readily be produced from the formation with either crude oil or water, since they are insoluble in the former and only sparingly soluble in the latter.
