An apparatus for making isotopic ethane measurements of a gas sample includes a tunable infrared laser configured to emit an infrared laser beam; an infrared sensor configured to receive the infrared laser beam; a gas cell deployed in a path between the tunable infrared laser and the infrared sensor such that the infrared laser beam passes through the gas cell, the gas cell configured to receive the gas sample; and a controller configured to evaluate the received infrared laser beam to estimate a ratio of C13 ethane to C12 ethane in the gas sample.

Tunable laser spectroscopy measurement of C13 ethane

A silica-based stationary phase for chromatography columns and the methods of preparing such. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, a silica-based stationary phase that is substantially free of polyethers (e.g., polymer glycols). Also, a chromatography column comprising a silica-based stationary phase substantially free of polyethers (e.g., polymer glycols) within its channels as either a thin-film coating and/or a monolith and/or a monolithic coating. More particularly, a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) chromatograph comprising a silica-based monolith substantially free of polyethers (e.g., polymer glycols) as the stationary phase within the micro-channels of the column.

Method and system for analyzing at least a rock sample extracted from a geological formation

A computer system including a processor executing processor-executable code stored in a non-transitory processor-readable medium, causing the processor to receive a signal via an input port, including data indicative of an amount of a combustion product produced by a sample of drill cuttings subjected to oxidation at a constant temperature (1000&#xb0; C. or 650&#xb0; C. 100&#xb0; C.) as a function of time and process the data according to a predetermined logic to: locate a peak in the amount of the combustion product produced at a set of instants in time; correlate the set of instants in time with the presence in the sample of an organic carbon from a contaminant or light volatile carbon molecules, organic carbon, and inorganic carbon; calculate at least one of an amount of contaminant, a total amount of organic carbon, and a total amount of inorganic carbon; and output a signal indicative of the calculated amount.

Device for automatically calibrating an analyzer used for mud gas or fluid logging, associated analysis system and drilling rig

The device comprises an extractor () having an outlet () at which a gas stream is sampled. The gas stream contains at least one hydrocarbon to be analyzed and at least one interfering compound. A transport line (), is connected to the outlet () of the extractor () to transport the gas stream to an analyzer (A) comprising a detector being able to measure at least one of the hydrocarbons to be analyzed contained in this gas stream. The device comprises a chemical reactor () located between the extractor () and the detector. At least a portion of the extracted gases is transported through the chemical reactor () where a selective catalytic reaction of at least one interfering compound is carried out without any substantial reaction of at least one of the hydrocarbons to be analyzed.

Device for analyzing at least one hydrocarbon contained in a drilling fluid and associated method

The method includes extraction of gases contained in a mud, in order to obtain a gas stream of extracted gases containing hydrocarbons to be analyzed and at least one parasitic compound. The method includes transporting the gas stream through a transport line () and passing it through a separation column () in order to separate the hydrocarbons to be analyzed according to their elution times in the separation column (). The parasitic compound is likely to have an elution time in the separation column () between the elution time for the first hydrocarbon to be analyzed and the elution time of the final hydrocarbon to be analyzed. The method includes passing the gas stream over a surface () for chemical and/or physical interaction with the parasitic compound in order to selectively retain the or each parasitic compound without retaining the hydrocarbons to be analyzed.

Method of analyzing a number of hydrocarbons contained in a drilling fluid, and associated device

Systems and methods for high speed mud gas logging are described. A general workflow of mud gas logging uses tandem mass spectroscopy. The workflow involves first separating the volatile components of the hydrocarbons (typically C8 and below) from the drilling fluid using a fluid extractor (or degaser). Extracted gases are then diluted in air and transported to an analyzer, which measures the concentration of each of those gases in air. A tandem mass spectroscopy-based analyzer is used that is able to quantify each of those hydrocarbon components, including resolving isomeric species, while tolerating the presence of the non-hydrocarbons. According to some embodiments, triple quadrapole mass spectroscopy is used.
