Abstract
A method and a system for predicting a molecular weight of a hydrocarbon fluid are provided. An exemplary method includes measuring a density of the hydrocarbon fluid, obtaining an alternative measurement of a physical property of the hydrocarbon fluid, calculating an index value for the hydrocarbon fluid from the alternative measurement, and calculating a predicted molecular weight using an equation that combines the density with the index value. The predicted molecular weight is provided as an output.
