  • Detecting gas compounds for downhole fluid analysis
    Patent number: 8904859
    Abstract: A gas separation and detection tool for performing in situ analysis of borehole fluid is described. The tool comprises a sampling chamber for a downhole fluid. The sample chamber comprises a detector cell with an opening. The tool also comprises a gas separation module for taking a gas from the downhole fluid. The gas separation module comprises a membrane located in the opening, a support for holding the membrane, and a sealant applied between the housing and the membrane or support. Moreover, the tool comprises a gas detector for sensing the gas.

  • WELL TUBULAR, COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OILFIELD APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20090200013
    Abstract: A technique facilitates the use of polymer materials in a downhole environment via utilization of a coating that can be applied to the polymer material. The methodology enables formation of a coating that sufficiently bonds with an underlying base structure of polymer material to withstand the harsh environment encountered in a downhole application. Additionally, the coating may utilize reactive chemistries to further protect the polymer material against the ingress of deleterious fluids while located in the downhole environment. Well tubulars formed of coated polymer are also described.
