Abstract
A method and system for downhole measurements of reservoir temperature and pressure and reservoir fluid compressibility, density, viscosity, and bubble point pressure to obtain an oil formation volume factor (FVF) or a gas to oil ratio (GOR) in real time are disclosed. In embodiments, methods include conveying a downhole formation analysis tool into a wellbore, measuring reservoir fluid compressibility, density, viscosity, and bubble point pressure, and obtaining the oil formation volume factor (FVF) or the gas to oil ratio (GOR) while the fluid sampling tool is still in the wellbore.
