DOWNHOLE TOOLS FOR TERAHERTZ TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS OF A FORMATION FLUID AND CORRESPONDING ANALYSIS METHOD

摘要

Method and apparatus of analyzing a fluid from an earth formation using a downhole tool. In the method, the downhole tool is conveyed down a borehole in the earth formation, and a fluid drawn into a measurement portion of the downhole tool, where a spectroscopic measurement of the fluid is made in a terahertz radiation domain. The method may be part of a method of producing a mineral hydrocarbon material from an earth formation.
