Description

METHODS OF MEASURING HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN
RESERVOIR FLUIDS
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/129,157, filed March 6, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to methods of measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chemical probes useful for measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids and associated methods and systems.
[0003] The presence of hydrogen sulfide is a common occurrence in a number of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs. The presence of hydrogen sulfide may be problematic, as it can be highly corrosive to casing, tubing, and other metallic and polymeric tools.
Special care may need to be taken in recovering hydrocarbons from hydrogen sulfide containing reservoirs. As such, it is useful to determine the presence and concentration of hydrogen sulfide content of reservoir fluids before production begins.
[0004] Currently, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in reservoir fluids is typically measured by analyzing samples captured using down hole fluid sampling tools.
Two examples of downhole fluid sampling tools are the Modular Dynamics Tester from Schlumberger and the Reservoir Description Tool from Halliburton. These tools and methods of using them and other methods and tools are described in US Patent Nos.
6,223,822, 6,469,636, and 7,128,144, the entireties of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
[0005] Briefly, conventional downhole fluid sampling tools are lowered into a wellbore and used to collect reservoir fluid samples downhole in a sample container. The fluid from the sample container may then be transferred into smaller storage bottles which are shipped to a laboratory for hydrogen sulfide analysis using a sulfur chemiluminescence gas chromatography detector and/or a Draeger tube. One problem with these conventional methods it may take several weeks or months for the sample container or storage bottles to be transported to the lab and have the analysis completed. During that time, fluid present in the sample container or storage bottles may undergo drastic pressure and temperature changes. As a result of these changes and other factors, the hydrogen sulfide present in the sampling container or storage bottle may undergo irreversible transformations. Thus the amount of hydrogen sulfide measured in the laboratory may not accurately reflect the concentration of hydrogen sulfide present in the subterranean formation. Also, the presence of brine and oil phases in the sample may skew the hydrogen sulfide equilibrium in the sample thus further skewing the laboratory analysis of the sample. Furthermore, conventional storage bottles must be reheated and re-pressurized in the laboratory, however due to variation in the fill levels of storage bottles, the analysis of hydrogen sulfide may not accurately represent the reservoir fluid characteristics.
[0006] It is desirable to develop a method of measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids that does not suffer from any of these conventional drawbacks.
SUMMARY
[0007] The present disclosure relates generally to methods of measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chemical probes useful for measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids and associated methods and systems.
[0008] In one embodiment the present disclosure provides a chemical probe composition comprising a base fluid and a chemical probe, wherein the chemical probe is capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide to form a fluorophore.
[0009] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method comprising: providing a chemical probe composition comprising a base fluid and a chemical probe, wherein the chemical probe is capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide to form a fluorophore and introducing the chemical probe composition into a subterranean formation.
[0010] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a hydrogen sulfide measuring system comprising: a sampling device comprising chemical probe composition comprising a based fluid and a chemical probe, wherein the chemical probe is capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide to form a fluorophore and a subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore, wherein the sampling device is located in the well bore.

[0014] The features and advantages of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. While numerous changes may be made by those skilled in the art, such changes are within the spirit of the disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The description that follows includes exemplary apparatuses, methods, techniques, and/or instruction sequences that embody techniques of the inventive subject matter. However, it is understood that the described embodiments may be practiced without these specific details.
[0016] The present disclosure relates generally to methods of measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chemical probes useful for measuring hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids and associated methods and systems.
[0017] Some desirable attributes of the methods discussed herein are that they may allow for the more accurate measurement of hydrogen sulfide concentrations in reservoir fluids. Without wishing to be limited to theory, it is believed that the methods discussed herein may allow for the more accurate measurement of hydrogen sulfide concentration in reservoir fluids because they do not require the transportation of a sample fluid comprising the hydrogen sulfide to a lab for analysis.

It is believed that this allows for the challenges associated with hydrogen sulfide losses caused by irreversible reaction, phase partitioning of hydrogen sulfide during transport, and reconstitution steps to be avoided due to the stability of the fluorophore.
