Improving Reservoir Testing and Sampling in H2s Contaminated Fluids by Adapting State-of-the-Art Semiconductor Thin Film Technology for Downhole Tester Tools
Abstract:Accurate reservoir fluid identification and sampling of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) contaminated fluids is difficult to achieve due its consumption by the interior of downhole tool surfaces prior to sampling or measurement. For low PPM level concentrations, this fact does not change, despite recent tool advances utilizing NACE compliant materials. Consequently, H2S concentrations are typically under-reported which adversely affects production and presents significant health safety and environment concerns. Histo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
