行业文章 Fluid Fingerprinting—The Latest Real-Time Analysis Tool
Asphaltene nanoscience combined with InSitu Fluid Analyzer has delivered a major breakthrough in reservoir reconnaissance.
InSitu Color
Reservoir fluid color sensor
The color of hydrocarbons
The InSitu Color reservoir fluid color sensor of the InSitu Fluid Analyzer system uses the 20-channel filter array spectrometer to determine the optical density, which is expressed as a dimensionless numerical value for the color characteristics of the fluids, in real time downhole at reservoir conditions.
The color measurement supports fluid identification, determination of asphaltene gradients, and pH measurement.
The reliability of the measurement is supported by continuous real-time autocalibration, application of a contamination algorithm that uses all the spectrometer channels, and a coated-window detection flag for enhanced QC.
