ABSTRACT:
A method for characterizing a desired property of a fluid downhole is described. In some non-limiting examples, the method comprises receiving an input signal representing sound speed of a fluid downhole, processing the input signal using a correlation equation expressing the desired property in terms of at least sound speed to produce an output signal representing the desired property, and outputting the output signal. In some examples, the correlation equation is derived through a chemometric analysis of a training data set, the training data set comprises a plurality of input values and a plurality of output values derived from said input values, between the desired fluid property and the first measured property, and the output values are calculated from the input values using a series of correlation equations. In at least one example, the desired property is gas oil ratio. In another example, the desired property is gas brine ratio. In a further example, the series of correlation equations comprises the Batzle and Wang relations. In another example, the receiving comprises receiving a plurality of input signals representing a plurality of measured properties of a fluid downhole and the processing comprises processing the plurality of input signals using the correlation equation expressing the desired property in terms of the plurality of measured properties.
