METHOD FOR MEASURING FLUID CHEMISTRY IN DRILLING AND PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

摘要

Disclosed is a method for chemical analysis of drilling-, drill-in, completion-, formation-, and production fluids, which may be employed at rig site or in a remote location, comprising:a) Collecting samples of fluids from predetermined fluid collection points where the drilling-, drill-in-, completion-, formation-, or production fluid are flowing or stored ;b) Introducing said samples into a microfluidic system for chemical measurement, optionally operably connected to a computing device; c) Executing one or more selected tests on said microfluidic device;d) Providing a means of detecting results of the tests and generating data;e) Translating said data to provide results of said analytical test; andf) Monitoring said results to adjust selected aspects of the drilling, completion, and production operations.
