    摘要: A laser tool system, which includes an optical fiber having an input end and an output end and a laser tool body, is described. The output end of the optical fiber may be optically connected to a laser source. The laser tool body may include a laser head optically connected to the laser output end, an activating chamber connected to the laser head, a heat transfer agent, an exit port, a nozzle connected to the exit port, and a fluid conduit. The fluid conduit may deliver a fluid into contact with the heat transfer agent. Methods for heating an aqueous fluid and heating a fluid in a reservoir are also described. The methods may include irradiating a heat transfer agent to provide an irradiated heat transfer agent, providing a fluid, and contacting the irradiated heat transfer agent with the fluid, thereby heating the fluid and forming a heated fluid mixture.

    摘要: This application relates to systems and methods for directional drilling through hydrocarbon bearing formations using a downhole laser tool. The technologies can be used to steer or direct a drill bit or drill string to a new drilling direction in the formation through controlled activation of a laser beam discharged from a laser head mounted on a drill string or drill bit.

    摘要: An example CO2 monitoring systems is configured for monitoring levels of CO2 in a wellbore. A CO2 monitoring system may include one or more laser monitoring tools. A laser monitoring tool may include an optical element to output a laser beam, a detector to receive the laser beam, a first chamber housing the optical element and detector, and a second chamber including an inlet and an outlet receive and release, respectively, wellbore fluid. The first chamber may be in fluid connection with second chamber via a gas permeable membrane. Gas may permeate from second chamber into first chamber. Gas in the first chamber is subjected to a laser beam. Absorption of light by the gas is measured, and content of gas is determined based at least in part on the amount of light absorption by the gas.

    摘要: This application relates to systems and methods for stimulating hydrocarbon bearing formations using a downhole laser tool. An example laser perforation tool is for perforating a wellbore in a downhole environment within a hydrocarbon bearing formation. The laser perforation tool includes a plurality of perforation units disposed within an elongated body of the laser perforation tool. Each of the plurality of perforation units includes a laser beam redirection tool coupled to a laser head. The beam redirection tool alters a direction of an output laser beam.
