CFA Composition
Fluid Analyzer
Expanded technology for gas sampling and analysis
Downhole fluid analysis by the CFA* Composition Fluid Analyzer module of the MDT Modular Formation Dynamics
Near-infrared optical absorption spectrometry and fluorescence emission measurements are used to determine gas-fraction concentrations and to identify fluid types, respectively, as fluids flow through the CFA module.
composition by depth
■ Monitoring changes in fluid composition due to injection or production
■ Downhole determination of reservoir architecture, including layer connectivity
Tester ensures recovered samples are rep-
resentative—one of the reasons the MDT tool is the industry standard for acquir- ing reservoir fluid samples on wireline.
The CFA analyzer builds on Schlumberger’s proven downhole oil analysis experience to advance the tech- nologies of gas sampling and analysis.
As a single-phase reservoir gas flows through it, the CFA analyzer uses a near- infrared optical absorption spectrome- ter for real-time determination of the concentration of

Benefits
■ Representative samples (single-phase, acceptable level of contamination)
■ Minimal time required for sample acquisition
■ Early determination of GOR
or CGR for reservoir valuation
■ Determination of fluid compositional gradient for reservoir modeling
■ Early determination of layer connectivity for completion
(C2–C5)
■ heavier hydrocarbon molecules (C6+)
■ H2O
■ CO2.
From this composition information, the condensate yield, or CGR (the inverse of GOR), is obtained.
The CFA module also measures fluorescence emission to identify fluid type and to ensure that samples are acquired above the dewpoint for a
gas condensate.
Accurate determination of in situ sample
properties is essential, not only to char- acterize and produce a reservoir, but also to design well completions, subsea tiebacks, and topside facilities. Reservoir fluids composition, phase behavior, and flow assurance (solids deposition) are routinely measured by a pressure-volume- temperature (PVT) laboratory such as Oilphase-DBR, the world’s leading pro- vider of PVT laboratory services.

Features
■ Quantitative weight-percent measurements of hydrocarbon, water(H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2)
■ Real-time contamination monitoring for sampling
in wells drilled with oil-base
Shown here are optical absorption spectra for C1, C2–C5, C6+, and CO2 compounds. The absorption spectrum
for H2O is not shown. An optical density of 0 means no light is absorbed as it is transmitted through the fluid;
a density of 1 means 0.1 of the light is transmitted; and a density of 2 means 0.01 of the light is transmitted.

Downhole reservoir fluid analysis provides assurance that captured sam- ples are representative. Since the CFA module identifies fluid properties in real time as it passes through a zone of interest, sampling operations can be modified according to the nature of the fluids being sampled.
Reservoir fluids can be in gas or liquid phase. Hydrocarbon gases can be dry, wet, or condensate (alternatively catego- rized as dry, lean, or
