Classification: CPC G  E | IPC E  G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:
monitoring, by a measurement controller of a system for measuring fluid flow, responses from: i) a driver configured as a driving electromechanical resonator for contacting a drilling fluid in a well, and ii) a reference configured as a reference electromechanical resonator for contacting the drilling fluid in the well, wherein the reference is of a similar construction as the driver and is in contact with the drilling fluid in a substantially same way;
performing, by the measurement controller, real-time measurements based on information received from the driver and the reference; and
determining, by the measurement controller based on the real-time measurements and the similar construction, a viscosity and a density of the drilling fluid, wherein similar construction of the driver and the reference enables the measurement controller to mitigate environmental sensitivities of the driver and the reference and to enhance fluid property sensitivities by the driver and the reference to physical properties of the drilling fluid.
