    摘要: A downhole PVT tool for performing in-situ formation fluid phase behavior characterizations in a wellbore using pressure, volume, and temperature (PVT) measurements of the formation fluid while continuing to pump the formation fluids. The disclosed downhole PVT tool includes an intake mandrel and utilizes two individual pumps to split the formation fluid to perform PVT measurements during the fluid pump out. The downhole PVT tool, two-pump configuration permits a first pump to be used to pump formation fluid along a first flowpath and a second pump to be used to pump formation fluid along a second flowpath, with one or more sensors deployed along one of the flowpaths to perform fluid and/or gas phase behavior measurements to determine one or more properties of the formation fluid in-situ. The first pump may be utilized in the phase behavior analysis while the second pump simultaneously continues flow-through pumping of the formation fluid.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a formation tester tool to be positioned in a borehole within a formation, wherein the formation tester tool comprises a pressure sensor and a pad that is radially extendable with respect to an axis of the formation tester tool, and wherein the pressure sensor is inside the pad. The formation tester tool includes first and second inner radially extendable packers that are axially above and below the pad, respectively, with respect to the axis of the formation tester tool. The apparatus includes a first outer radially extendable packer that is axially above the first inner radially extendable packer with respect to the axis of the formation tester tool and a second outer radially extendable packer that is axially below the second inner radially extendable packer with respect to the axis of the formation tester tool.

    摘要: A method includes positioning a formation tester tool into a borehole formed within a formation and radially expanding a first and second radially extendable packers of the formation tester tool out from the formation tester tool to the formation to form a sealed volume between the first radially extendable packer and the second radially extendable packer. The method includes radially extending a pad of the formation tester tool that is positioned between the first radially extendable packer and the second radially extendable packer to form a sealed connection volume between the formation and a pressure sensor within the pad. The method includes acquiring a first pressure measurement, using the pressure sensor, from fluids in the sealed connection volume and extracting fluid from the sealed volume to reduce pressure around the pad. The method includes acquiring a second pressure measurement, using the pressure sensor, from fluids in the sealed connection volume.
