Abstract: Mutual-complementary modeling and testing methods are disclosed that can enable validated mapping from external oil and gas information sources to existing fluid optical databases through the use of forward and inverse neural networks. The forward neural networks use fluid compositional inputs to produce fluid principal spectroscopy components (PSC). The inverse neural networks apply PSC inputs to estimate fluid compositional outputs. The fluid compositional data from external sources can be tested through forward models first. The produced PSC outputs are then entered as inputs to inverse models to generate fluid compositional data. The degree of matching between reconstructed fluid compositions and the original testing data suggests which part of the new data can be integrated directly into the existing database as validated mapping. The applications of using PSC inputs to reconstruct infrared spectra and estimate oil-based-mud (OBM) contamination with endmember spectral fingerprints are also included.

In some embodiments, the system includes a first vial containing a first insulating cylinder having a first internal cavity for storing electrolytes, a capillary tube, and a first sealable end having a first seal that prevents the electrolytes that are stored in the first internal cavity from flowing through the first sealable end while the first seal remains intact. The system also includes a second vial containing a second insulating cylinder having a second internal cavity for receiving the electrolytes that are stored in the first insulating cylinder, and a second sealable end having a second seal. The system further includes a tube positioned between the first vial and the second vial, where the tube provides at least one fluid flow path between the first vial and the second vial.

Abstract: A method may include transforming optical responses for a fluid sample to a parameter space of a downhole tool. The optical responses are obtained using a first operational sensor and a second operational sensor of the downhole tool. Fluid models are applied in the parameter space of the downhole tool to the transformed optical responses to obtain density predictions of the fluid sample. The density predictions of the first operational sensor are matched to the density predictions of the second operational sensor based on optical parameters of the fluid models to obtain matched density predictions. A difference between the matched density predictions and measurements obtained from a densitometer is calculated, and a contamination index is estimated based on the difference.

Abstract: A downhole formation fluid identification sensing module for measuring averaged gas molecular weight of wellbore formation fluid acquires simultaneous temperature, pressure, and density measurements. The sensing module includes two venturi-type gas sensors that both contain vibrating tubes. During operation, formation fluid flows through the vibrating tubes whereby resonant frequency measurements are acquired simultaneously with temperature and pressure measurements. Each measurement is then utilized to determine the gas molecular weight of the dry, wet or saturated formation fluid.

Abstract: The present application provides a method for dynamically allocating resources in an SDN/NFV network based on load balancing. For multimedia services with different demands, a virtual link mapping target, a constraint and a load state of a physical link are associated. A subtask is adaptively mapped to a network node according to the load state of the physical link. The method effectively distinguishes used resources and remaining resources of a physical node and a link to balance the load, and thereby improve the utilization of network resources and avoid occurrence of a local optimum or current optimum. The solution involves performing a subtask mapping to find a server node satisfying constraints for each subtask in a service request. The model for mapping the subtask is min T ? V ? ? Target 1 s . t . ? C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 .

Abstract: A photometric system design methodology employs genetic algorithms to optimize the selection of optical elements for inclusion in the photometric system in order to improve system performance with respect to environmental conditions (i.e., to “ruggedize” the photometric system). The genetic algorithms utilize a multi-objective fitness function to evolve simulated optical element selection, which may be a combination of optical filters and integrated computational elements. The system may also output a size reduced database that serve as simulated candidate optical elements through global optimization, or may output a fixed number of simulated optical elements through conditional optimization for actual tool implementation and calibration analysis.
