Abstract:
A method includes operating a downhole acquisition tool in a wellbore in a geological formation. The wellbore or the geological formation, or both, contain a reservoir fluid. The method also includes receiving a portion of the reservoir fluid into the downhole acquisition tool and performing downhole fluid analysis using the downhole acquisition tool in the wellbore to determine at least one measurement associated with the portion of the reservoir fluid. The at least one measurement includes fluid density, optical density, or both. The method also includes using a processor of the downhole acquisition tool to obtain compressibility of the reservoir fluid based at least in part on the fluid density, the optical density, or both and determining a composition of the reservoir fluid based at least in part on the compressibility.
