Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a flow path provided within a wellbore and containing a fluid in which a chemical reaction is presently occurring, wherein the fluid comprises at least one of a reagent and a product associated with the chemical reaction; at least one integrated computational element arranged in an optical train to optically interact with the fluid in the flow path and thereby generate optically interacted light, the at least one integrated computational element comprising a plurality of thin film layers deposited on an optical substrate; at least one detector arranged in the optical train following the at least one integrated computational element to receive the optically interacted light and generate an output signal corresponding to a characteristic of the chemical reaction occurring within the fluid; and a signal processor communicably coupled to the at least one detector for receiving the output signal, the signal processor being programmed to determine the characteristic of the chemical reaction based on the output signal.
