Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to the identification of wellbore formation fluids and, more particularly, to averaged gas molecular weight detection with a thermal modulated vibrating sensing module, and related methods utilized for in-situ identification of wellbore formation gas fluids.
- Averaged gas molecular weight is closely related to the hydrocarbon composition of wellbore formation fluid from a hydrocarbon gas reservoir and to the pressure-temperature diagram of a multi-component system with a specific overall composition.
- pressure and temperature can alter gas density, and the measured formation fluid density can vary significantly from dry, wet or saturated gases.
- average gas molecular weight of a hydrocarbon gas mixture will be the same if the reservoir composition is kept constant, regardless of the temperature and pressure variations.
- the averaged gas molecular weight variation may provide a direct correlation to formation gas fluid composition and properties, which is normally obtained only by offline gas chromatography analysis.
- Gas molecular weight detection is a particularly important concept in the field of flow measurement, as the varying densities of the constituent material may present a significant problem in natural gas production.
- the natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds, dominated by C1-C4, with quantities of various non-hydrocarbons such as N 2 and H 2 .
- extra small quantities of C5+ may also exist in the liquid phase.
- the amount of hydrocarbons present in the liquid phase of the wet gas extracted depends on the reservoir temperature and pressure conditions, which change over time as the gas and liquid are removed.
- a conventional laboratory method is to use either gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectroscopy (MS) combined GC-MS instrument.
- GC gas chromatography
- MS mass spectroscopy

- FIG. IB is an exploded view of a single gas sensor package, according to certain illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are alternative illustrative embodiments of gas sensing module in which two gas sensors are arranged in series configuration (FIG. 2A) and parallel configuration (FIG. 2B);
- FIGS. 3 A and 3B are plots showing hydrocarbon boiling points and molecular weight as a function of the carbon number, respectively;
- FIG. 4 is a pressure-temperature phase diagram that is used for fluid phase control, according to an illustrative method of the present disclosure
- FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the pressure-temperature phase envelop under three different gas molecular weights, according to an illustrative method of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the present disclosure whereby a gas molecular weight sensing module is utilized in a wireline application.
- the sensing module includes a pair of gas sensors, each comprising a vibrating tube having a mechanism thereon for vibrational excitation and signal acquisition.
- Each gas sensor includes a thermal modulated hollow tube body having a venturi inlet and outlet to regulate fluid flow uniformity.
- the vibrating tube is coupled between the venturi inlet and outlet.
- Pressure and temperature sensors are positioned along the sensing module to provide temperature and pressure compensated vibrational measurements from the resonant frequency of the vibrating tube.
- wellbore formation fluid flows into the sensing module and to the first and second gas sensors (also referred to herein as gas sensor packages), which are operated under temperatures Ti and T 2 , respectively.
- the first and second gas sensors also referred to herein as gas sensor packages
- the resonant frequencies of the hollow tubes are simultaneously measured at two different temperature operating modes, and each gas sensor package is kept in an isothermal status.
- These vibrational measurements include the resonant frequencies of the vibrating tubes as the formation fluid flows through (for gas density determination), in addition to the temperature and pressure measurements of each gas sensor.
- the differential pressure measurements across the sensing module are then utilized to determine the gas molecular weight of the formation fluid.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure are useful to analyze a number of different formation fluid compositions.
- the sensing module may be used for in- situ dry gas well analysis.
- the sensing module can be used for wet gas analysis, where the small quantity of formation liquid may coexist with the gas.
- the gas sensing module may be used for saturated gas analysis, where gas can separate from the crude oil in the formation fluid when pressure is above the bubble point. Accordingly, the use of various embodiments of the present disclosure provided are to enhance sampling tool abilities for in-situ averaged gas molecular weight measurements of dry, wet, and saturated hydrocarbon gas reservoirs.
- wellbore fluid is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, and their averaged molecular weight can be obtained by first measuring each individual gas composition, then, then determining each gas composition's mole percentage or weight percentage. Traditionally, this is done in a laboratory condition using a gas chromatography technique.
- embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sensing module discussed that directly measures averaged gas molecular weight without the need to identify each gas composition and its percentage in total volume.
- a CH 4 or Ci dominated natural gas production well may have an averaged molecular weight of equal and greater than 16 g/mol, but any additional C 2 -C 5 , N 2 , and C0 2 could increase the measured molecular weight in a small amount, but averaged gas molecular weight could be an indicator of the gas reservoir composition stability.
- the measured hydrocarbon gas molecular weight provides a direct correlation to the gas composition of the formation fluid, which in conventional approaches is normally obtained by time-consuming offline gas chromatography analysis.
- analysis of fluid composition may be conducted in real-time to thereby provide immediate analysis of the hydrocarbon gas composition.
- downhole sampling tools such as the Halliburton RDTTM, will have added service capability for use in both crude oil and hydrocarbon gas reservoirs.
- FIG. 1A is a high-level block diagrammatical illustration of a thermal modulated vibrating tube based gas molecular weight sensing module 100 according to certain illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure.
- Sensing module 100 includes first gas sensor 102 and second gas sensor 104, which are connected to one another in series fashion. First and second sensors 102 andl04 are operated under isothermal temperatures Ti and T 2 , respectively, as will be described in more detail below.
- sensing module 100 is attached to various flow control mechanisms via a front flow line 106a and back flow line 106b. As shown, a pressure gauge 108a, gas flow inlet control valve 1 10a, pressure and flow regulator 1 12a and a coalesce filter 1 14 are coupled in series fashion along front flow line 106a.
- coalesce filter 1 14 performs gas purification by blocking debris and solid particles, and minimizing erosions to chokes, flow lines, control valves, and other sensor packages. In some cases, the coalesced water droplets are repelled by hydrophobic barrier layers. In another case, a separator filter with a two-stage vertical coalescer and separator housing will be used to separate gas from hydrocarbon liquid. For practical application, a microporous film produced from ultra- high molecular weight polyethylene (“UHMW”) or low-density porous PTFE filters could be used in high-temperature (up to 500°F) for venting of the gases while holding oil, liquid and water separation.
- UHMW ultra- high molecular weight polyethylene
- PTFE filters could be used in high-temperature (up to 500°F) for venting of the gases while holding oil, liquid and water separation.
- a controlled operation temperature and pressure could render the formation fluid in the pure gas phase from its phase diagram.
- Front and back flow lines 106a,b are in fluid communication with a source of wellbore formation fluid.
- lines 106a,b may couple to gas supply pipeline.
- flow lines 106a,b would be connected to a downhole tool flow control unit in which to receive wellbore formation fluids under a constant differential pressure.
- FIG. IB is an expanded view of a single gas sensor 102,104, according to certain illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure.
- Gas sensor 102,104 includes a hollow tube body 116 having a first end 116a and second end 116b.
- a venturi inlet 118a is positioned at first end 116a, and a venturi outlet 118b is positioned at second end 116b.
- a vibrating tube 120 is fluidly coupled between venturi inlet 118a and outlet 118b.
- Vibrating tube 120 is a tube through which wellbore formation fluid flows during operation of sensing module 100.
- Vibrating tube 120 may be made of high-strength titanium (Ti) metal, Ti- alloy, carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (such as PPS and PEEK), with a typical length of 4-10" and diameter of 0.1-0.4". In most of cases, these tubing materials will work under 400°F and 25 kpsi downhole conditions.
- Ti titanium
- Ti- alloy titanium- alloy
- carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites such as PPS and PEEK
- Venturi inlet/outlet 118a,b allows control of fluid uniformity and pressure through the gas sensors 102,104. Specifically, when using a relative long tube for increasing the sensor gas sensitivity, the limited gas flowing rate may affect the density and gas molecular weight measurement accuracy if the sensing tube only is not fully filled. The large ratio of the external/internal tube diameters will enable the gas flow rate increase and thereby increase measurement accuracy.
- vibrational mechanism 122 is positioned on vibrating tube 120 to excite tube 120 into vibration.
- vibrational mechanism 122 may be a magnet or coil assembly coupled to processing circuitry (not shown) via line A whereby excitation signals are communicated.
- Vibrational mechanism 122 may also be utilized for signal pickup/acquisition via line B, whereby vibrational measurements (e.g., resonant frequency, gas density, temperature, pressure measurements) are communicated to the processing circuitry.
- inlet flow line 106a has a size of ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4
- the gas flow from line 106a to vibrating tube 120 has a size of ⁇ , where ⁇ > ⁇ ⁇ .
- gas sensor 102,104 also includes a temperature control loop feedback mechanism 124 coupled to a temperature sensor 126 positioned inside the cavity of hollow body 116.
- Feedback mechanism 124 may be, for example, a proportional-integral- derivative ("PID") controller, based on either PRTIOO or RTD, which is utilized to maintain gas sensor 102, 104, and thus sensing module 100, in an isothermal condition.
- PID proportional-integral- derivative
- a heating element (not shown) is embedded into a layer of the body of hollow tube 1 16 to thereby maintain the desired temperature of gas sensor 102, 104.
- Another temperature sensor 128 is embedded into the heating element and connected to a thermometer 130, which is controlled and coupled to control loop feedback mechanism 124.
- feedback mechanism 124 is also coupled to processing circuitry. Via the use of sensors 126 and 128, the temperature of gas sensor 102, 104 may be monitored and controlled.
- vibrational excitation mechanism 122 is attached to the surface of vibrating tube 120 for excitation and signal pick up.
- the front and rear fluid pressures and temperatures (Phiet, ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , Poutiet, T 0u tiet) of the formation fluid can be measured before and after gas flow through gas sensor 102, 104 via temperature/pressure sensors (not shown).
- the density variation of the wellbore formation fluid will be measured through use of the venturi vibrating tube resonant frequency shift between the first and second sensors (FIG. 1A), accompanied by the simultaneous measurement of the inlet and outlet temperature ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , T 0u tiet) and pressure
- first and second sensors 102, 104 will show first and second resonant frequencies:
- a and b are calibration constants at pre-set Ti and T2 with a known gas density or molecular weight.
- MW gas molecular weight
- the density difference will be proportional to relative gas molecular weight (MW) change, namely,
- each gas sensor may provide measured gas molecular weight, and the differential signal of the two gas molecular weights may be directly used for production quality monitoring as indicated by Eq.(4), where gas composition variation could vary measured gas density difference.
- the gas sensing module 100P may require a filter for gas and liquid separation in the front of flowline 106a.
- a filter could be a coalesce or centrifugal-based filter that can separate heavy liquid from wet gas stream and thereby allow the gas phase to flow past sensor 102, 104.
- a microporous film produced from UHMW polyethylene or lo-density porous PTFE filters could be used in high-temperatures (up to 500°F, for example) for venting of the gases while maintaining oil, liquid and water separation.
- the separated hydrocarbon liquid will be forced to pass through the other gas sensor (second sensor 104 in FIG. 2B), while the gas phase will pass through the sensor (first gas sensor 102).
- second sensor 104 in FIG. 2B the gas phase will pass through the sensor (first gas sensor 102).
- gas molecular analysis starts by measuring the wellbore formation fluid (e.g., multi-component hydrocarbon gas mass) using first and second gas sensors 102,104 to thereby determine a first and second gas density using:
- ⁇ ( ⁇ , T 2 ) (MW)*(Pi/Ti-P 2 /T 2 )/R
- MW (pi-p2)*R/(Pi/Ti-P 2 /T 2 ).

- ⁇ ⁇ and ⁇ 2 are flow velocities before gas flowing into the gas sensors 102,104 and inside vibrating tube 120, respectively.
- Ti and T 2 should be relative higher than the downhole formation fluid temperature.

- the boiling point is about 300°C; however, the boiling point will be about 440°C for carbon number up to 30.
- the corresponding gas molecular weight can change more than 100 g/mol. In this method, the following may be utilized to calculate molecular weight:
- the vibrating tube operational temperature ( ⁇ , T2), inlet pressure Pi nlet (shown in FIGS. IB, 2A and 2B), and differential pressure ⁇ may be pre-set to the proper operating point based upon the pressure- temperature ("PT") phase diagram, as shown in FIG. 4.
- PT pressure- temperature
- the configuration of gas sensors 102,104 may be utilized to reduce the gas pressure inside vibrating tube 120 by using a ⁇ that shifts the operation point outside the two-phase region of FIG 4 to thereby achieve single gas phase operation.

In another case, the 0.82% C7+ may have an averaged molecular weight of 110 g/cm 3 , while in another case, the 0.82% C7+ may have an averaged molecular weight of 130 g/cm 3 . Although the average gas molecular weight only changes from 18.293, 18.402, to 18.566 g/cm 3 in this example, the PT phase envelop diagram, as shown in FIG. 5, has changed dramatically.
- the high carbon bonded hydrocarbons of C7-C30 may have limited content as wet gas, which is saturated with ⁇ 1% volume of liquid hydrocarbons, but the gas molecular weight increase could indicate the corresponding PT phase envelop change, which may have a high impact on the well completion design or asset management.
- the measurement of the average gas molecular weight also can help to understand the transport properties of hydrocarbons through different layers of the subsurface formation.
- the increase of the water will decrease measured average gas molecular weight.
- the heavy oil evaporated gas could increase averaged gas molecular weight.
- carbon dioxide may become rich due to specific geological regions that also increase the measured averaged gas molecular weight.
- the simulation described here shows that the critical point and gas/liquid due-point curve can be changed by an increase a small amount of the gas molecular weight.
- wet gas detection is a particularly important concept in the field of flow measurement, as the varying densities of the constituent materials present a significant problem.
