    Abstract: Fluid analysis measurements may be performed during withdrawal of a downhole tool to the surface. Fluid may be collected within a fluid analysis system of the downhole tool and the collected fluid may be exposed to the wellbore pressure during withdrawal of the downhole tool. Measurements for the collected fluid, such as optical density, the gas oil ratio, fluid density, fluid viscosity, fluorescence, temperature, and pressure, among other, may be recorded continuously or at intervals as the downhole tool is brought to the surface. The measurements may be employed to determine properties of the collected fluid, such as the saturation pressure and the asphaltene onset pressure.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for obtaining first properties of a fluid, such as by estimating a second property of the fluid based on the first properties using a machine learning algorithm, propagating a first uncertainty of the first properties to a second uncertainty of the second property, generating an expected phase envelope of the fluid based on the second property, and generating a deviation phase envelope of the fluid based on the second uncertainty.

    Abstract: A downhole tool is operated to pump fluid from a subterranean formation while obtaining fluid property measurements pertaining to the pumped fluid. The downhole tool is in communication with surface equipment located at the wellsite surface. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment is operated to estimate a first linear, exponential, logarithmic, and/or other relationship between compressibility and pressure of the pumped fluid based on the fluid property measurements. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment may also be operated to estimate a second linear, exponential, logarithmic, and/or other relationship between formation volume factor and pressure of the pumped fluid based on the first relationship. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment may also be operated to measure and correct optical density of the pumped fluid based on the first relationship.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for determining a gas-oil ratio based on downhole fluid analysis measurements and calibrated gas-oil ratio parameters. According to certain embodiments, the parameters for calculating the gas-oil ratio may be calibrated using historical data from the reservoir. For example, previously determined gas-oil ratios may be employed to calibrate the parameters to the reservoir. The calibrated parameters may then be employed during sampling operations to determine the gas-oil ratio.

    Abstract: A downhole tool, surface equipment, and/or remote equipment are utilized to obtain data associated with a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir, fluid contained therein, and/or fluid obtained therefrom. At least one condition indicating that a density inversion exists in the fluid contained in the reservoir is identified from the data. Molecular sizes of fluid components contained within the reservoir are estimated from the data. A model of the density inversion is generated based on the data and molecular sizes. The density inversion model is utilized to estimate the density inversion amount and depth and time elapsed since the density inversion began to form within the reservoir. A model of a gravity-induced current of the density inversion is generated based on the data and the density inversion amount, depth, and elapsed time.
