    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring drilling operations by dividing a flow of fluid into at least one discrete fluid unit, circulating the fluid unit through a wellbore, and comparing a measured change to a property of the fluid unit to a predicted change in the property of the fluid unit. In addition to measuring the change to the property of the fluid unit, the fluid unit may be tracked by iteratively calculating the location of the fluid unit as it passes through the wellbore. Data collected for the fluid unit by a control system may be analyzed and used by the control system or an operator to diagnose problems or improve overall efficiency of drilling operations.

    Abstract: This disclosure presents a process and system to determine characteristics of a subterranean formation proximate a borehole. Borehole material is typically pumped from the borehole, though borehole material can be used within the borehole as well. Extracted material of interest is collected from the borehole material and prepared for analyzation. Typically, the preparation can be a separation process, a filtering process, a moisture removal process, a pressure control process, a flow control process, a cleaning process, and other preparation processes. The prepared extracted material is placed in a laser dispersion spectroscopy device (LDS) where measurements can be taken. A LDS analyzer can generate results utilizing the measurements, where the results of the extracted material can include one or more of composition parameters, alkene parameters, and signature change parameters. The results can be communicated to other systems and processes to be used as inputs into well site operation plans and decisions.

    Abstract: Drill bit wear can be quantified through an analysis of chemical reactions that occur during drilling. A detector measures the molar composition of a dissolved gas sample. From the molar composition, the moles of hydrogen, ethylene, and propylene in the dissolved gas sample are determined. A thermal cracking reaction and a thermal decomposition reaction determine moles of hydrogen produced during drill bit wear based on the moles of ethylene and propylene. The moles of hydrogen produced is subtracted from the total moles of hydrogen to determine moles of hydrogen produced by metal oxidation. A metal -water reaction determines the moles of metal that have been oxidized. This can be converted into mass or volume of metal loss to quantify drill bit wear.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analyzing isotopes of a gas from a wellbore to determine geological information associated with the wellbore. A drill device can be used to drill rocks or particles in a wellbore, which can cause a gas to be released within the wellbore. Fluid can be pumped into the wellbore as the drill bit drills the rocks or particles and the fluid, along with the gas released, can flow through the wellbore and to a surface of the wellbore. A gas detector can be positioned near the wellbore for detecting an amount of gas and a type of gas in the fluid and gas mixture and transmitting data about the amount and type of the gas to a computing device. The computing device can output data based on the amount and type of gas in the mixture for determining geological information about the wellbore.

    Abstract: Fouling of or damage to an electromagnetic radiation-transparent window can preclude one from obtaining satisfactory images with an image acquisition unit, such as a camera. Certain types of environments may be particularly prone toward promoting fouling or damage, and manual cleaning or repair of an electromagnetic radiation-transparent window may be difficult in some circumstances. These issues may be particularly prevalent when imaging drill cuttings and other solids obtained from a wellbore due to the complex sampling environment in which these solids are often disposed. Wellhead imaging systems can comprise: a flow pathway extending from a wellbore; an electromagnetic radiation-transparent window external to the wellbore establishing optical communication with the flow pathway; an image acquisition unit in optical communication with the flow pathway via the electromagnetic radiation-transparent window; and a movable barrier that is also electromagnetic radiation-transparent and is disposed between the electromagnetic radiation-transparent window and the flow pathway.
