Abstract:
1. A method of measuring a property of a downhole fluid, comprising: generating a theoretical value of a property of the downhole fluid based on a condition of the downhole fluid; obtaining a plurality of measurements for each of a plurality of sensors, wherein each of the measurements corresponds to a same property of the downhole fluid, and wherein each of the sensors is differently configured to measure the property; obtaining a plurality of weighting values, each of which corresponds to one of the sensors, wherein obtaining the plurality of weighting values comprises determining the weighting values based on at least a status of each sensor or the condition of the downhole fluid; applying the weighting values to the measurements obtained by each of the corresponding sensors to generate a weight-corrected measurement for each of the sensors; generating a value representative of a measurement of the property of the downhole fluid based on the weight-corrected measurements; and outputting the value representative of the measurement of the property.
