Abstract
Method and system for measuring properties of fluids, particularly of reservoir fluids involved in enhanced oil recovery, comprising a pair of high pressure cells, each one of the cells having a floating piston therein which separates the respective cell into a fluid analysis chamber and a hydraulic fluid chamber. Means are provided for selectively controlling the amount of pressure applied to the hydraulic fluid chamber of each cell, whereby the pressure of the fluid under analysis is defined. Means are also provided for interconnecting the fluid analysis chambers of each cell whereby fluid under analysis may be selectively passed between the cells.
Claims16
A system for measuring properties of fluids comprising:
- a pair of high pressure cells, each one of said cells including a floating piston therein separating each of said cells into a fluid analysis chamber and a hydraulic fluid chamber,
- means for selectively controlling the amount of pressure applied to said hydraulic fluid chamber of each cell whereby the pressure of the fluid in said fluid analysis chamber is defined, and
- means interconnecting said fluid analysis chamber of each of said cells for passing fluid to be analyzed between each of said cells.
A method of measuring properties of fluids with a pair of high pressure cells, each one of said cells including a floating piston therein separating each of said cells into a fluid analysis chamber and a hydraulic fluid chamber, comprising the steps of:
- passing fluid for analysis between each of said fluid analysis chambers, and
- concurrently agitating at least one of said cells by magnetic means.
