Patent number: 11768191Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Younes Jalali, Ryota Tonoue, Hua Chen, Christopher Harrison, Kamal Kader, Youxiang Zuo, Adriaan Gisolf, Cosan Ayan, Michael Mallari Toribio, Chetankumar Natwarlal Desai, Oliver Clinton Mullins, Matthew T.

Patent number: 10975693Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus pertaining to processing in-situ, real-time data associated with fluid obtained by a downhole sampling tool. The processing includes generating a population of values for ?, where each value of ? is an estimated value of a fluid property for native formation fluid within the obtained fluid. The obtained data is iteratively fit to a predetermined model in linear space. The model relates the fluid property to pumpout volume or time. Each iterative fitting utilizes a different one of the values for ?. A value ?* is identified as the one of the values ? that minimizes model fit error in linear space based on the iterative fitting. Selected values ? that are near ?* are then assessed to determine which one has a minimum integral error of nonlinearity in logarithmic space.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Ryan Sangjun Lee, Adriaan Gisolf, Youxiang Zuo
