Abstract
Formation fluid analysis apparatus and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a sample platform coupled to production tubing disposed in a wellbore and a first chamber defined by the sample platform. The first chamber is to capture a fluid flowing through the production tubing. The example apparatus includes a second chamber coupled to the sample platform. The example apparatus includes a first sensor coupled to the sample platform and a controller. The sample platform, the second chamber, and the first sensor are to be communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller is to selectively instruct the second chamber to one of depressurize or pressurize the fluid, the first sensor to generate fluid data for the fluid during the depressurization or the pressurization of the fluid and conduct a pressure-volume analysis for the fluid based on the fluid data.

An apparatus comprising: a sample platform coupled to production tubing disposed in a wellbore; a first chamber defined by the sample platform, the first chamber to capture a fluid flowing through the production tubing; a second chamber coupled to the sample platform; a first sensor coupled to the sample platform; and a controller, wherein the sample platform, the second chamber, and the first sensor are to be communicatively coupled to the controller, the controller to: selectively instruct the second chamber to one of depressurize or pressurize the fluid, the first sensor to generate fluid data for the fluid during the depressurization or the pressurization of the fluid; and conduct a pressure-volume analysis for the fluid based on the fluid data.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is disposed in the wellbore.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the controller is to: transmit a result of the pressure-volume analysis to a second controller disposed outside the wellbore; and receive, from the second controller, a user input to adjust a parameter of the pressure-volume analysis.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is to determine one or more of a bubble point pressure for the fluid, a dew point pressure for the fluid, a fluid density value, or a fluid compressibility value based on the pressure-volume analysis.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second chamber includes a trigger, the controller to activate the trigger to cause the second chamber to depressurize the fluid.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a phase nucleation device disposed in the sample platform, the first sensor to be disposed proximate to the phase nucleation device.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second chamber includes first portion to receive the fluid and a second portion to hold a gas, and further including a second sensor disposed in the second chamber, the controller to determine a volume of the fluid in the second chamber based on pressure data generated by the second sensor.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is to selectively instruct the first chamber to release the fluid.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the second chamber is disposed in the first chamber.
13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first end and the second end are coupled to production tubing.
14. The apparatus of claim 9, further including a first valve disposed at the first end and a second valve disposed at the second end.
15. A method comprising: directing, by executing an instruction with a processor, a sample platform to capture fluid flowing through production tubing in a wellbore, the sample platform aligned with the production tubing; directing, by executing an instruction with a processor, a sample container coupled to the sample platform to depressurize the fluid captured by the sample platform; accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor, fluid property data for the depressurized fluid; and directing, by executing an instruction with a processor, the sample platform to release the fluid.
16. The method of claim 15, further including activating a phase nucleation device disposed in the sample platform, the fluid property data to be generated during activation of the phase nucleation device.
17. The method of claim 15, further including generating a fluid phase diagram based on the fluid property data.
18. The method of claim 15, further including instructing the sample container to pressurize the fluid.
19. The method of claim 15, wherein directing the sample platform to capture the fluid includes instructing a valve of the sample platform to close.
20. The method of claim 15, further including detecting one or more of a phase change or a presence of asphaltene in the fluid based on the fluid property data.
