MEASUREMENT OF FORMATION ROCK PROPERTIES BY DIFFUSION

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method to determine formation measurements, the method comprising placing a sample in a reservoir, removing aliquots from the reservoir containing the sample or continuously monitoring the reservoir or headspace as the sample and reservoir equilibrate and analyzing the aliquots or readings sufficient to provide diffusion measurements.

主权项

1. A method to determine formation measurements, the method comprising:
collecting a plurality of formation samples; analyzing a first formation sample of the plurality to determine a salinity of the first formation sample; sufficiently matching a salinity of fluid in a reservoir to the salinity of the first formation sample; placing a second formation sample of the plurality in the fluid of the reservoir; and analyzing the fluid in the reservoir as the second formation sample and fluid equilibrate sufficient to provide diffusion measurements.
