Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems are provided for determining a gas/oil ratio using gas chromatography and optical analysis of a fluid sample obtained using a fluid sampling tool. In some embodiments, a gas/oil ratio may be determined from the mass fraction of each light component of the fluid, the mass fraction of each intermediate component of the fluid, a molecular weight of each light component of the fluid, a molecular weight of each intermediate component of the fluid, the density of stock tank oil, the vapor mass fraction of the intermediate components of the fluid, and the mass fraction of the plus fraction of the fluid. In some embodiments, a gas/oil ratio may be determined from the density of stock tank oil, the vapor mole fraction of the intermediate components of the fluid, and the molecular weight of stock tank oil.
