Abstract
The present disclosure presents illustrative embodiments of a method for estimating the producibility of a hydrocarbon bearing formation using a flexural mechanical resonator to measure the viscosity and density of a representative fluid from the formation. A system is disclosed for estimating the producibility of a hydrocarbon bearing formation using a flexural mechanical resonator to measure the viscosity and density of a representative fluid from the formation. A data structure is disclosed for storing data useful for estimating the producibility of a hydrocarbon bearing formation using a flexural mechanical resonator to measure the viscosity and density of a representative fluid from the formation. The data structure provides a structural and functional interrelationship between the data structure, data in the data structure and a computer and computer software provided in an illustrative embodiment.
