RCI and IFX systems provide real-time fluid data and analysis in the North Sea Challenges • Long sampling times due to optical density masking actual sample contamination Results • Analyzed gradients and fluid composition • Obtained fluid samples with minimal contamination • Collected real-time density, viscosity, gas-to-oil ratio, and sound speed measurements An operator in the North Sea wanted to determine the petrophysical characterization of the field to map the level of H 2 S concentrations and to predict the reservoir’s behavior during production. One of the concerns was taking the samples with low enough contamination for accurate pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) testing. Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), had been using the Reservoir Characterization Instru
