Abstract:
Example systems described herein to perform downhole fluid analysis include a depressurizer to be positioned downhole in a geological formation to depressurize a formation fluid in the geological formation. In such example systems, the depressurization of the formation fluid is to cause bubbles to nucleate in the formation fluid. Such example systems also include an imaging processor to be positioned downhole in the geological formation. In such example systems, the imaging processor is to capture imaging data associated with the formation fluid and to detect nucleation of the bubbles in the formation fluid based on the imaging data. Such example systems further include a controller to report measurement data via a telemetry communication link to a receiver to be located outside the geological formation. In such example systems, the measurement data includes a bubble point of the formation fluid calculated based on the detected nucleation of the bubbles.
