    Abstract: An electrochemical fluid sensor for a downhole production tool positionable in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean is provided. The wellbore has a downhole fluid therein. The electrochemical fluid sensor includes a sensor housing positionable in the downhole tool, a sensing solution positionable in the housing (the sensing solution including a mediator reactive to target chemicals), a gas permeable membrane to fluidly isolate the downhole fluid from the sensing solution (the gas permeable membrane permitting the passage of gas to the sensing solution), and a plurality of electrodes positioned about the housing a distance from the gas permeable membrane to measure reaction by the sensing solution whereby downhole parameters may be determined.

    Abstract: A method of determining the pH of an aqueous liquid which contains little or no buffer, such as does not contain more than 0.01 moles per litre of pH-buffering partially dissociated acid, base and/or salt, uses an electrode with at least one redox active compound immobilized thereon convertible electrochemically between reduced and oxidized forms with transfer of at least one proton between the compound and the aqueous liquid. Varying potential is applied to the electrode, observing current flow as potential is varied, determining the applied potential at a maximum current for redox reaction of the compound, and determining pH from the potential at maximum current. The electrode has a covering layer which separates the redox active compound from the aqueous liquid but selectively allows the passage of hydrogen ions between the redox active compound and the aqueous liquid. The presence of the covering layer enhances accuracy of the measurement of pH of the aqueous liquid.

    Abstract: The present invention, in one set of embodiments, provides methods and systems for integrating conducting diamond electrodes into a high power acoustic resonator. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, in certain embodiments of the present invention, diamond electrodes may be integrated into a high power acoustic resonator to provide a robust sensing device that may provide for acoustic cleaning of the electrodes and increasing the rate of mass transport to the diamond electrodes. The diamond electrodes may be used as working, reference or counter electrodes or a combination of two or more of such electrodes. In certain aspects, the high power acoustic resonator may include an acoustic horn for focusing acoustic energy and the diamond electrodes may be coupled with the acoustic horn.

    Abstract: A viscosified aqueous solution, optionally for use in a subterranean wellbore, is made by reacting in aqueous solution (i) an initial polymer with either carboxylic acid or amino groups on its polymer chain, (ii) a second compound with an amino group or carboxylic acid group, and (iii) a coupling agent, so that molecules of the second compound join to the polymer chain through amide groups, thereby forming an aqueous solution of a modified polymer which, without separation from the aqueous solution, participates in cross-linking thereby enhancing viscosity of the solution. The second compound may include hydrophobic groups so that the modified polymer contains hydrophobic groups and is able to cross-link with itself or a viscoelastic surfactant through association of hydrophobic groups (without covalent bond formation) in aqueous solution. Such cross-links can reform after the fluid has been subjected to shear.
