Abstract
A method for estimating an elemental composition of a multiphase oilfield fluid includes obtaining a sample of a multiphase oilfield fluid; blending the sample with a viscosity modifying agent to transform the sample into a high viscosity paste; introducing the high viscosity paste into a chamber of an XRF apparatus; using the XRF apparatus to make an XRF measurement of the high viscosity paste; and evaluating the XRF measurement to estimate an elemental composition of the obtained multiphase oilfield fluid.
