  • Predicting formation fluid property through downhole fluid analysis using artificial neural network
    Patent number: 7966273
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to perform downhole fluid analysis using an artificial neural network are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves obtaining a first formation fluid property value of a formation fluid sample from a downhole fluid analysis process. The first formation fluid property value is provided to an artificial neural network, and a second formation fluid property value of the formation fluid sample is generated by means of the artificial neural network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Peter Hegeman, Chengli Dong, Charles Woodburn, Graham Birkett, Nikos Varotsis, Vassilis Gaganis
