    Abstract: A method is described for quantitative pay summaries from mud logs, real-time fluid typing, and to minimize logging expense in high-angle or horizontal wells. The method may include receiving at least one mud log; selecting extraction system type, operating, and drilling parameters for the at least one mud log; determining hydrocarbon parameters such as methane (C1) extraction efficiency, trap response factor (TRF), and relative responses for ethane-pentane (C2-C5); correcting gas-in-mud volume to an earth surface to generate a corrected C1-C5; calculating a gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) from the corrected C1-C5; calculating a reservoir gas volume from the gas-in-mud volume to an earth surface and the GOR; determining pay cutoffs; and generating least one pay summary. The method may be executed by a computer system.
