Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for facilitating continuous affinity-based separation of phases in multi-phase formation fluid in a downhole environment. A system can comprise a formation sampler that samples a formation to gather multi-phase formation fluid in a continuous flow through a wellbore during a testing pump out of the formation. The system can also comprise a phase separator comprising one or more affinity-based separators that continuously separates one or more phases of the multi-phase formation fluid through either or both diffusion or flow while downhole in the wellbore during the testing pump out.
