CA 2404168

A downhole tool and method for determining the viscosity of a reservoir fluid, the tool including a passage having entry, intermediate and exit regions, in which the reservoir fluid flowing through the passage will have a lower Reynolds number in the intermediate region as compared to the entry region, the tool also including differential pressure gauge for measuring the differential pressure across the intermediate region, and either a velocity controller or fluid velocity meter, for either setting or measuring the fluid velocity.

L'invention concerne un outil de fond et un procédé permettant de déterminer la viscosité d'un fluide de réservoir. L'outil comprend un passage possédant une zone d'entrée, une zone intermédiaire et une zone de sortie. Un fluide de réservoir circulant à travers le passage présente un nombre de Reynolds plus petit dans la zone intermédiaire que dans la zone d'entrée. Cet outil comprend également un manomètre différentiel permettant de mesurer la pression différentielle dans la zone intermédiaire, ainsi qu'un contrôleur de vitesse de passage ou un dispositif de mesure de la vitesse du fluide, permettant de régler ou de mesurer la vitesse du fluide.
