Characterize Reservoir Fluids

Sampling and fluid analysis is no longer the time-consuming and error-prone process it once was. Smart downhole analysis techniques now monitor purity of fluids and ensure samples are representative before they are captured and brought to surface. In situ hydrocarbon characterization is made in a single pass. And some sampling operations that typically took days are now completed in a few minutes. For safety of personnel and environment, all samplers, labs, and fluid analysis processes are mercury free.

InSitu Fluid Sampling and Analysis 

With virtually contamination-free formation fluid samples acquired with wireline Quicksilver Probe technology, the InSitu Family services can deliver quantifiable fluid measurements at reservoir conditions in real time.

Fluid Profiling and Correlation 

InSitu technology continuously monitors the purity of the fluid entering the tool, so Fluid Profiling is performed only when contamination levels fall to a specified level. Identification of mobile fluid phases and subtle variations in fluid properties give a better understanding of zonal connectivity.

Modular Formation Dynamics Tester 

The proven MDT wireline tester identifies and collects high-quality formation fluid samples for further laboratory analysis. Flowline resistivity measurements help distinguish formation fluids from filtrates.

• Composition Fluid Analyzer

  The CFA module of the MDT Modular Formation Dynamics Tester for gas sampling and analysis delivers composition information from which the condensate yield (inverse of gas/oil ratio) is determined.

InSitu Fluid Identification and Characterization

From a single pass with multiple depths of investigation, this NMR wireline logging tool gives formation evaluation of the near-wellbore region, fluid identification, and in situ hydrocarbon characterization.

Downhole Sampling

All Schlumberger samplers, laboratories, and fluid analysis processes are mercury free, which has benefits not only for health and safety of personnel but also for the environment. Fluid sampling options for deep water mean that single-phase PVT samples can be collected and downhole conditions preserved during the well test, or can be acquired by wireline-conveyance methods.

• Single-Phase Sample Carrier (94 KB PDF)

  The industry-standard bottomhole sample carrier for over a decade, the Oilphase-DBR SCAR series enable multiple samples to be taken and their reservoir condition to be maintained in deepwater operations.

Surface Sampling

• PhaseSampler Multiphase Fluid Sampling and Analysis System

  High-pressure, high-temperature conditions are common in deep water. In addition, space is typically limited on these rigs. These challenges require a robust, compact unit to deliver measurements of multiphase flow rates and fluid properties. The PhaseSampler system's innovative inline design eliminates the need to take samples from an additional separator saving valuable time and space at the wellsite.
