Abstract: A system and method for a fluid sampling tool. The fluid sampling tool may include a probe section. The probe section may include one or more probes, one or more stabilizers, and a housing that houses a bi directional piston pump. The method may include disposing a fluid sampling tool into a wellbore at a first depth, pressing the one or more probes into a surface of the wellbore, drawing a reservoir fluid from the wellbore through the one or more probes, placing the reservoir fluid into the housing, isolating the housing from the one or more modules of the fluid sampling tool with one or more shut in valves, depressurizing the housing with the bi directional piston pump, and measuring the asphaltene precipitation of the reservoir fluid within the housing.

Abstract: A method and system for determining a bed permeability. As disclosed, a fluid sampling tool may be disposed into a wellbore at a first location. The method may further include taking a drawdown and build up measurement with the fluid sampling tool, measuring a relative dip angle from the fluid sampling tool, calculating a bed anisotropy from the drawdown and build up measurement and the relative dip angle, calculating a bed mobility from the bed anisotropy, and calculating a bed permeability from the bed mobility and a viscosity.

Abstract: A method of servicing a wellbore includes introducing a fluid into a wellbore, the wellbore having particulate matter disposed therein and entraining at least a portion of the particulate matter within the fluid. The fluid includes a polymer having at least one hydrophobic monomer and at least one hydrophilic monomer. The fluid is also included within an analytical tool within a coiled tubing system for performing operations in a wellbore. The fluid is also included within a formation-tester tool.

Abstract: System and methods for customizing fracturing fluids downhole for real-time optimization of micro-fracturing operations are provided. Downhole operating conditions are monitored during a micro-fracturing operation along a portion of a wellbore within a subterranean formation, based on downhole measurements collected by sensors of a downhole formation tester. Injection parameters for a fracturing fluid to be injected from a bulk storage chamber of the downhole formation tester into the subterranean formation are determined based on the downhole operating conditions. Signals for customizing the fracturing fluid using one or more fluid additives stored within corresponding fluid storage chambers of the downhole formation tester are transmitted to a controller of the downhole formation tester, based on the injection parameters.

Abstract: A formation-tester tool may be positioned downhole in an openhole wellbore. The formation-tester tool may suspend proppant in fracturing fluid located in a chamber of the formation-tester tool. The formation-tester tool may generate a test fracture in an uncased wall of an area of interest of a subterranean formation adjacent to the openhole wellbore and inject the fracturing fluid and the proppant toward the uncased wall and into the test fracture. The formation-tester tool may retrieve a fluid sample from a reservoir within the area of interest of the subterranean formation by creating a drawdown pressure in the test fracture.

Abstract: Methods of ranking formation stabilizer performance are described. The methods include obtaining drill cuttings from a subterranean formation, grinding and sieving the drill cuttings to a particle size larger than 200 mesh, adding a formation stabilizer solution to the ground and sieved drill cuttings to form a mixture, agitating the mixture, and measuring turbidity of the agitated mixture.

Abstract: In some aspects, an acoustic analysis system includes an acoustic source and a laser vibrometer. In some instances, the acoustic source can generate an acoustic signal in a wellbore defined in a subterranean region, and the laser vibrometer can detect movement of a surface in the wellbore in response to the acoustic signal. The detected movement can be analyzed, for example, to identify properties of materials in the subterranean region.

Abstract: A multi-layer composite synthetic test bed may be used to model fracture propagation and fracture networks. For example, a fracturing fluid may be introduced into a multi-layer composite synthetic test bed at a pressure and a flow rate sufficient to create a fracture network therein. Then, the fracture network may be analyzed to produce synthetic fracture data, which may be used in a fracture model.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to identifying potential fracture treatment locations in a rock formation for oil and/or gas production based on production potential. One example method includes receiving internal imaging data of a core sample of a rock formation; generating a digital core sample model of the structure of the core sample based on the internal imaging data; analyzing the core sample model to determine the density distribution of a deposit in the core sample; and determining a production potential value from the density distribution of the deposit.
