发明名称 SURFACE GAS CORRECTION BY GROUP CONTRIBUTION EQUILIBRIUM MODEL
摘要 Methods and systems are disclosed to determine total hydrocarbons from fluid-carrying fluids and solids from a geological formation during downhole operations. Gas extraction at a well site occurs through a gas extractor at a set pressure, detected temperature, detected density, and controlled volume rate. The quantities of various components of interest are determined from samples of fluid influent and effluent from the wellbore by solving a system of equations of state using a group contribution equilibrium model. Knowing approximate chemical compositions of the liquid fluid and solid phases before contamination with formation materials, with the detection of the gas phase and description of the solid phase from the geological formation, to allows for determination of total detectable hydrocarbons from geological formations at the surface, and their concentrations to be expressed as mole or mass fraction for materials coming from a wellbore while downhole operations.

主权项 1. A method for characterizing formation fluid, comprising: extracting a gas sample from a fluid exposed to a formation during downhole operations; measuring a temperature of the gas sample; determining from the gas sample a vapor-phase molar contribution of each of one or more components of interest in the fluid; determining a partial vapor pressure for each component of interest using the temperature; determining a liquid-phase molar contribution of each component of interest using the determined partial vapor pressure and the determined vapor-phase molar contribution and a vapor-liquid group contribution equilibrium equation of state; and subtracting a known chemical composition of the drilling fluid from a sum of the determined vapor-phase and liquid-phase molar contributions of all components to characterize the formation fluid.
