Real-time assessment of formation fluid properties penetrated by an oilfield wellbore is critically important for oilfield operating companies to make informed decisions to optimize the development plan of the well and hydrocarbon reservoir. A ruggedized VIS/NIR spectrometer was designed and built to measure and analyze hydrocarbon spectra reliably under the harsh conditions of the oilfield wellbore environment, including temperature up to 175 ~C, pressure up to 170MPa, and severe mechanical shocks and vibrations. The accuracy of hydrocarbon group composition analysis was compared well with gas chromatography results in the laboratory.展开更多
