An apparatus for use in a wellbore may include a tool having a first section configured to receive a core and a second section configured to collect a gas escaping from the core. The apparatus may also include a sensor associated to provide signals relating to a property of gas. In one aspect, the second section may be removable and may be pressurized. The apparatus may also include a recorder that records data representative of the signals received from the sensor. The recorder may record data while the tool is retrieved from the wellbore. A method for estimating a parameter of interest of a formation includes retrieving a core from the formation, collecting a gas escaping from the core as the core is retrieved to the surface, and measuring at least one property of gas while the core is retrieved to the surface.

A method includes acquiring formation fluid sample information including pressure, volume, and temperature. Monotonic formation fluid information is extracted from the formation fluid sample information and a pressure, volume, temperature information set is constructed. A curvature sequence is estimated using a first partial derivative and a second partial derivative of pressure with respect to volume. A first maxima is estimated from the curvature sequence, and the formation fluid property is estimated using the estimated first maxima. A method may include a volume acceleration sequence estimated using a first partial derivative and a second partial derivative of the volume with respect to pressure. A first maxima is estimated from the volume acceleration sequence, and the formation fluid property is estimated at least in part by using the estimated first maxima. A method may include establishing a first linear regression model and predicting a confidence interval.

Methods for determining properties of a media on an exterior of a casing in downhole systems are described. The methods include conveying a logging tool through a casing in a downhole formation, stimulating shear waves and flexural waves in the casing, obtaining a shear attenuation rate measurement and a flexural attenuation rate measurement within the casing responsive to the media on the exterior of the casing, comparing the measured shear attenuation rate and the measured flexural attenuation rate against a plurality of respective division boundary values, and determining one or more properties of the media on the exterior of the casing based on the comparison of the measured shear attenuation rate and the measured flexural attenuation rate against the plurality of respective interfaces.

A method of estimating properties of a resource bearing formation includes receiving, by a processor, a measured echo train generated by a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement device deployed in a region of interest, and a measured noise of the measured echo train, and calculating a Tdistribution subject to a nonlinear equality constraint, the nonlinear equality constraint dependent on the measured noise and a fitting error between the measured echo train and a modeled echo train. Calculating the Tdistribution includes estimating a solution for the Tdistribution that is closest to satisfying the nonlinear equality constraint.

A method for transforming an earth formation and/or production equipment based on correcting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data to account for partially water-saturated rock includes: receiving NMR logging data having echo-trains for an earth formation; inverting the echo-trains to provide transverse relaxation time constant (T) distributions for various components of fluid in the earth formation; substituting a Tdistribution for mobile water of fully water-saturated rock for a Tdistribution for mobile water of partially water-saturated rock based on values of the mobile water Tdistribution of partially water-saturated rock and a total porosity constraint; summing the Tdistribution for mobile water of fully water-saturated rock and a Tdistribution for an immobile water component of the fluid to provide a T, distribution for fully water-saturated rock; and transforming the earth formation and/or the production equipment based on a parameter derived from the Tdistribution for fully water-saturated rock.

A method for estimating liquid and vapor molar fraction of components, liquid mole fraction, vapor mole fraction, liquid saturation, and vapor saturation of a mixture of hydrocarbons in nano-pores in an earth formation includes: constructing an equation of state (EOS) representing the mixture hydrocarbons in the nano-pores in the earth formation; the EOS having a term accounting for capillary pressure in the nano-pores. The method further includes inputting a composition of the mixture of hydrocarbons, a phase pressure of the hydrocarbons and a pore size distribution of the earth formation into the EOS and solving the EOS and to estimate the liquid and vapor molar fraction of components, liquid mole fraction, vapor mole fraction, liquid saturation, and vapor saturation of the mixture of hydrocarbons in the nano-pores in the earth formation.
