    摘要: A formation test probe and a formation test system and method for implementing a self-drilling probe are disclosed. In some embodiments, a test probe includes a body having a channel therethrough to a frontside port, and further includes drill-in tubing disposed within the channel and having a front tip that is extensible from the frontside port. An exciter is disposed within the body in contact with the drill-in tubing and operably configured to induce resonant vibration in the drill-in tubing during a drill-in phase of a formation test cycle.

    摘要: A downhole sample extractor includes a sample container chamber that holds a sample container containing a downhole sample. The downhole sample extractor also includes a sample extraction chamber having an internal chamber that is partially filled with a carrier solution, wherein the downhole sample is mixed with the carrier solution in the internal chamber of the extraction container. The downhole sample extractor further includes a first piston that, when actuated, inserts the sample container into the internal chamber of the sample extraction chamber.

    摘要: This disclosure provides a method of determining a pore throat size distribution of reservoir rock, comprising injecting a set of different-sized probe particles through a portion of reservoir rock and measuring retention volumes or times of each of the different-sized probe particles eluting from the portion of reservoir rock. This disclosure also provides a testing apparatus comprising a probe tube for receiving a set of different-sized probe particles in an elution fluid returning from a portion of reservoir rock and an analytical module connected to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube. The module includes a flow cell to receive the elution fluid from the probe tube, a radiation source positioned to direct a radiation beam though a window of the cell into the eluting fluid in the cell, and a sensor for detecting portions of the radiation beam that have interacted with the different-sized probe particles such that retention volumes or times each of the probe particles of one size class can be distinguished from all other size classes of the set.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for determination of fluid contamination of a fluid sample from a downhole fluid sampling tool. A method may comprise obtaining a fluid sample, wherein the fluid sample comprises a reservoir fluid contaminated with a well fluid; obtaining input parameters, wherein the input parameters comprise fluid properties obtained from measurement of the fluid sample and mud filtrate composition; obtaining initial values of iterative parameters, wherein the iterative parameters comprise fluid contamination of the fluid sample; determining calculated fluid properties of the reservoir fluid using equation of state flash calculating; and repeating steps of determining component mole fractions and determining calculated fluid properties for use in the mole fraction distribution function until a comparison of one or more of the calculated fluid properties with one or more of the input parameters is within a tolerance error.
