  • System and methodology for determining phase transition properties of native reservoir fluids
    Patent number: 11814956
    Abstract: A technique facilitates fluid analysis in situ at a downhole location. According to an embodiment, a sample of fluid, e.g. oil, is obtained from a reservoir at the downhole location in a borehole. A downhole sampling system is used to determine contamination of the sample of fluid and to determine other selected characteristics of the sample. The data obtained is then processed to determine a true phase transition property of a native fluid in the sample of fluid. The sample analysis may be performed at selected stations along the borehole during, for example, a well cleanup operation. The immediate analysis of fluid samples downhole facilitates rapid development of an understanding of fluid characteristics in the reservoir, thus enabling an improved oil recovery strategy.
