  • Patent number: 11833445
    Abstract: Methods and devices for obtaining approximate property data from the aqueous liquid phase of a multiphase fluid produced from a well. The device includes a separation vessel; a demulsifier source; a fresh water source configured to dilute an aqueous liquid phase sample; a water analysis unit configured to receive and analyze the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample, the water analysis unit comprising an analytical cell and at least one probe, the at least one probe having a membrane-coated sensor tip wherein the membrane-coated sensor tip having a membrane coating that comprises a polar material, the at least one probe being configured to measure a property of the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample to obtain diluted aqueous liquid phase sample data; a processing unit configured to calculate approximate aqueous liquid phase data accounting for the measured amount of fresh water used to dilute the measured sample of the aqueous liquid phase.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11833449
    Abstract: Methods and devices for obtaining approximate property data from the aqueous liquid phase of a multiphase fluid produced from a well. The method includes introducing a discrete sample of the multiphase fluid to a separation vessel; mixing a demulsifier with the discrete sample of the multiphase fluid; allowing the multiphase fluid to separate into separate liquid phases; drawing a measured sample of the aqueous liquid phase from the separation vessel, and diluting it with a measured amount of fresh water; analyzing the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample in a water analysis unit to measure a property of the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample and obtain diluted aqueous liquid phase sample data; and calculating the approximate aqueous liquid phase property data using the diluted aqueous liquid phase sample data and accounting for the amount of fresh water used to dilute the measured sample of the aqueous liquid phase.
