Abstract

Systems and methods presented herein generally relate to a formation testing tool configured to determine whether a formation fluid being tested is a bubble point fluid or a dew point fluid. For example, in certain embodiments, a method includes depressurizing a flowline of a formation testing tool. The flowline contains a formation fluid having a gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) within a predetermined GOR range. The method also includes determining, using a fluid analysis module of the formation testing tool, whether the formation fluid is a bubble point fluid or a dew point fluid by analyzing distribution of bubbles in the formation fluid that are caused by the depressurization of the flowline.
