Abstract:
A method includes determining a concentration of one or more components of a subterranean fluid, and adjusting or maintaining at least one operating parameter of a wellbore servicing operation based on the determining of the concentration of the one or more components. The subterranean fluid includes a fluid obtained from a subterranean formation during the wellbore servicing operation, and the determining of the concentration of the one or more components includes contacting a sample of the subterranean fluid with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device to provide a sample response indicative of the concentration of the one or more components.
