Directly Measures Formation Fluid Density at Reservoir Conditions
The first in the new InSitu Family quantitative fluid measurements at reservoir conditions, the InSitu Density sensor directly measures formation fluid density in open hole at reservoir conditions. Previously unobtainable insight into your reservoir is now available through real-time, accurate downhole density measurement.
The integrated electronics of this “smart” sensor further simplify deployment of the InSitu Density sensor module on the Quicksilver Probe focused fluid extraction tool. The Quicksilver Probe technique delivers ultralow-contamination fluids that the InSitu Density sensor measures under flowing conditions. Because there is zero dead volume, the acquisition and analysis of pure samples is ensured.
In addition to direct downhole fluid characterization while sampling, InSitu Density measurements can be used for Fluid Profiling characterization of reservoir fluid properties and quantification of their variation to describe the entire reservoir fluid system by scanning fluid properties in different reservoir zones.
