Abstract:
A downhole formation fluid identification sensing module for measuring averaged gas molecular weight of wellbore formation fluid acquires simultaneous temperature, pressure, and density measurements. The sensing module includes two venturi-type gas sensors that both contain vibrating tubes. During operation, formation fluid flows through the vibrating tubes whereby resonant frequency measurements are acquired simultaneously with temperature and pressure measurements. Each measurement is then utilized to determine the gas molecular weight of the dry, wet or saturated formation fluid.
