OILFIELD APPARATUS COMPRISING SWELLABLE ELASTOMERS HAVING NANOSENSORS THEREIN AND METHODS OF USING SAME IN OILFIELD APPLICATIONS

摘要

Apparatus, oilfield assemblies, and methods of use are described. Theapparatus comprises, in one embodiment, a swellable elastomeric compositioncomprising aswellable elastomer and one or more nanosensors dispersed therein and shapedinto an oilfieldelement. Methods of the invention comprise using an apparatus of the inventionin an oilfieldoperation, thus exposing the oilfield element to an oilfield environment, andsensing one ormore reservoir parameters.
