Abstract: A method of determining GOR comprising subjecting a fluid to spectroscopic analysis at a first wavelength sensitive to gas and a second wavelength sensitive to oil, determining a response matrix for the contribution of gas at the first and second wavelengths and the contribution of oil at the first and second wavelengths, determining a signal response vector and the two wavelengths, calculating a mass fraction vector from the response matrix and the signal response vector and using the mass fraction vector to determine GOR.
