  • Publication number: 20240418646
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to a formation testing tool configured to determine whether a formation fluid being tested is a bubble point fluid or a dew point fluid. For example, in certain embodiments, a method includes depressurizing a flowline of a formation testing tool. The flowline contains a formation fluid having a gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) within a predetermined GOR range. The method also includes determining, using a fluid analysis module of the formation testing tool, whether the formation fluid is a bubble point fluid or a dew point fluid by analyzing distribution of bubbles in the formation fluid that are caused by the depressurization of the flowline.

  • Patent number: 11768191
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can include systems, methods, and devices for determining saturation pressure of an uncontaminated fluid. A technique facilitates fluid analysis in situ at a downhole location. Downhole saturation pressure measurements and downhole OBM filtrate contamination of a contaminated fluid may be obtained and a relationship may be determined between the saturation pressure measurements and OBM filtrate contamination. The relationship may be extrapolated to zero OBM filtrate contamination to determine the saturation pressure of the uncontaminated fluid. According to an embodiment, a sample of oil is obtained at the downhole location from oil in a reservoir. A downhole sampling system is used to determine whether a sample has contamination and other selected characteristics of the sample. The data obtained may be processed to provide a formation volume factor of the oil.

  • Patent number: 11230924
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for obtaining initial settings of station-specific parameters descriptive of wellbore/formation properties specific to downhole pressure test stations, and obtaining initial settings of station-shared parameters descriptive of petrophysical properties of petrophysically unique formation zones. A pressure transient model of the zones is obtained by regression utilizing the pressure data of each station and the initial settings of the station-specific and station-shared parameters. The regression analytically determines a model value of at least one of the station-specific parameters and the station-shared parameters.
