Abstract
A method for analyzing fluid characteristics of a geological sample with laser-induced breakdown spectral measurements performed on the geological sample, spectral pre-processing performed as necessary, and subsequent analysis is applied to the collected data to determine at least one fluid parameter of the sample. The method can provide a more rapid and reliable method to estimate fluid properties of a geological sample. A system for performing the method also is provided.
