Abstract

A downhole monitoring system for continuously measuring in real-time a fluid produced from a reservoir includes a tubing extending into a wellbore, spaced apart packers forming annular seals between the tubing and a wall of the wellbore, isolated compartments formed between the spaced apart packers, each compartment having an opening in the tubing to allow fluid communication from the reservoir to surface equipment, and an ultraviolet spectrometer installed in each compartment. The ultraviolet spectrometer includes an ultra-violet source that excites diamondoids, a photomultiplier to quantify the excited diamondoids, and an electronic circuit that digitizes a response from the photomultiplier and sends the response to the surface of the wellbore. Additionally, a method includes continuously monitoring and in real-time a fluid produced from a reservoir and determining reservoir connectivity and reservoir profiling.
