Filed:

Nov 7, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/290482

Inventors:

William H. Steinecker - Farmersville OH, US
Jagdish Shah - Southington CT, US
Oleg Zhdaneev - Bergen, NO
Gordon R. Lambertus - Indianapolis IN, US
Hua Chen - Cambridge MA, US

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Sugar Land TX

International Classification:

B01D 53/02
G01N 30/02
G01N 30/56

US Classification:

96101, 95 83, 73 2339, 73 2342

Abstract:

Methods and related systems are described for improving component separations in chromatography through novel techniques. The improvements in separation is due primarily to the provision of differential acceleration of the components being separated. Various systems and methods for providing differential acceleration are described including: increasing the cross section of the column towards the column outlet, changing the thickness or other composition of stationary phase within the column, and providing a temperature and/or mobile phase velocity gradient along the column.

International Classification:

G01N 30/46

US Classification:

73 2342, 95 86, 96104

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC), including a valve having first and second positions (P, and P), and first through fourth sample flow paths (FP-FP). In P, a first gas sample is collected from a first dimension GC column via FP, a first pressure source and a first, second dimension GC column are connected via FP, a second pressure source and a second, second dimension GC column are connected via FP, and FP is disconnected. In P, the first sample in FP is introduced to the second, second dimension GC column via FP, with aid of the second pressure source, a second gas sample is collected from the first dimension GC column via FP, the first pressure source and the first, second dimension GC column via FP are connected, and FP is disconnected.

International Classification:

G01N 30/62
G01N 30/28

US Classification:

73 6153, 73 6152, 73 6156

Abstract:

Advanced remote self-contained chromatographic systems and techniques for analyzing a mixture comprising components having a wide range of boiling points. The chromatographic systems and techniques can utilize components and techniques that allow staged, simultaneous, and/or sequential vaporization of an analyte to facilitate rapid analysis. The chromatographic systems and techniques can also utilize components and techniques that focus eluents from a first separation stage prior to reduce characterization time in subsequent stages.

Appl. No.:

12/275589

Inventors:

Gordon Lambertus - Wellesley MA, US

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

B01D 59/44
H01J 49/00

US Classification:

250282, 250288

Abstract:

Methods and related apparatuses for chemically analyzing at least one sample of fluid, such that a gas flow of at least one fluid sample is directed into a mixing region of an ion mobility device, wherein the mixing region is in communication with at least one container having at least one other fluid. Further, creating an ion flow of gaseous ions, a mixture of gaseous ions or a gaseous neutral species from the at least one sample and the at least one other fluid. Further still, injecting the ion flow from the mixing region into at least one ion mobility assembly of the ion mobility device, the at least one ion mobility assembly comprising at least one mobility tube; and, detecting the ions from the ion flow exiting the ion mobility assembly.

International Classification:

G01V 8/10
G06F 19/00

US Classification:

702 6

Abstract:

Accurate, real-time formation fluids analysis can be accomplished using the systems and techniques described herein. A fluid analyzer includes a first mode of analysis, such as an optical analyzer, configured to determine a physical (optical) property of a fluid sample. The fluid analyzer also includes another mode of analysis, such as a composition analyzer, such as a gas chromatographer, configured to determine an elemental composition of the fluid sample. A data processor is configured to determine a quantity, such as a weight percentage, of a target component of the fluid sample in response results obtained from the first and second modes of analysis. Beneficially, the results are obtained at least in near real-time, allowing for interim results, such as results from the first analyzer to be used for one or more of tuning the compositional analyzer and for implementing quality control.
