Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for determining real time bubble point pressure and compressibility of a fluid originating from a subsurface earth formation during well production first permit remote collection of a sample of fluid. The sample of fluid is then remotely expanded, while the temperature, pressure, and volume of the sample of fluid are remotely monitored. The real time bubble point pressure and compressibility of the sample of fluid are extracted from a plot of sample fluid pressure versus volume, which exhibits substantially linear behavior having two different slopes.
