Abstract
A method and system for fluid characterization in an underground formation surrounding a borehole are provided. Acoustic signals are transmitted and received in the borehole. The received acoustic signals are processed to obtain at least one attribute of formation mobility. Formation fluid is characterized based on a change of the at least one attribute. A decision is made based on the characterization output.
