Abstract:
An analysis system, tool, and method for performing downhole fluid analysis, such as within a wellbore. The analysis system, tool, and method provide for a tool including a spectroscope for use in downhole fluid analysis which utilizes an adaptive optical element such as a Micro Mirror Array (MMA) and two distinct light channels and detectors to provide real-time scaling or normalization.

Abstract:
A mixing system that employs a pump with a highly sensitive means of adding and controlling volumes of single or multiple reagents to a controllable volume of a sample, mixing said samples and reagents, providing the means of employing a specific measurement tool on some portion of the mixed sample, and finally reporting the results to a final control element automatically under industrial conditions and often essentially in situ to fluid flows such as fluid moving through a pipeline or industrial process.
Abstract:
A tool for measuring properties of a formation fluid downhole within a wellbore is described. The tool comprises means for obtaining a sample of formation fluid from an isolated portion of an earth formation, means for evaluating a property of said formation fluid, and means allowing correction of systemic changes in said evaluation while said tool is downhole within said wellbore.
Abstract:
A tool for measuring properties of a formation fluid downhole within a wellbore is described. The tool comprises a port for obtaining a sample of fluid downhole and a spectroscope. The spectroscope includes an adaptive optical element, a light source, and at least two detectors. The adaptive optical element is capable of directing a first wavelength band along a first light path and a second wavelength band along a second light path when both said bands are simultaneously incident thereon. The spectrum of the light source is spectrally dispersed across the adaptive optical element in such a way that a first wavelength band is directed along the first light path, through the sample, and to one of the detectors, and a second wavelength band is directed along the second light path to a second of said at least two detectors.
