Real-time fluid answers—No more waiting for laboratory analysis
The InSitu Fluid Analyzer real-time downhole fluid analysis (DFA) system integrates various sensors making quantitative fluid properties measurements to deliver a comprehensive characterization of reservoir fluids at reservoir conditions.
Quantified, accurate fluid data that was previously unachievable from wireline logs or the laboratory analysis of collected samples is now possible:
-
hydrocarbon composition (C
1
, C
2
, C
3
–C
5
, and C
6+
)
-
gas/oil ratio (GOR)
-
live-oil density and viscosity
-
CO
2
-
pH of water (aquifer, connate, injection, or water-based mud [WBM] filtrate)
-
reservoir fluid color
-
free-gas detection
-
downhole fluorescence (dew precipitation in retrograde gas condensates)
-
flowline pressure and temperature (regime of the sample chamber, not the probe)
-
resistivity of reservoir water
-
oil-based mud (OBM) filtrate contamination.
