    摘要: Integrated formation modeling systems and methods are described. An example method of performing seismic analysis of a subterranean formation includes obtaining seismic data of the formation, obtaining fluid from the formation and analyzing at least some of the fluid to determine a fluid parameter. The example method additionally includes generating a model of the formation based at least on the seismic data and modifying the model based on the fluid parameter.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for determining phase transition pressure of downhole retrograde condensate. An OBM-contamination value is produced from a time-series of fluorescence values produced by measuring fluorescence emitted from a single-phase flow of OBM-contaminated formation fluid in a downhole cell during a cycle of time. The pressure of fluid in the cell is set at a transition boundary by incrementing drawdown pressure and monitoring the presence or absence of a phase transition. An apparent phase transition pressure value associated with the cycle of time is produced by setting apparent phase transition pressure value equal to cell pressure. This process is repeated for several cycles of time to produce a number of pairs of OBM-contamination value and apparent phase transition pressure value as OBM-contamination decreases over time. The value of phase transition pressure is determined by extrapolating from a representation of apparent phase transition pressure values versus OBM-contamination values.

    摘要: An example method for determining a partial density of a compound in a downhole fluid may comprise exposing the downhole fluid to an electromagnetic radiation, and measuring a spectrum of radiation absorption by the downhole fluid. An absorption peak of the compound may be identified in the measured spectrum. A first parameter indicative of radiation absorption by the downhole fluid may be determined in the identified absorption peak. Second and third parameters indicative of radiation absorptions by the downhole fluid may be determined essentially out of the identified absorption peak. A weighted combination of the second and third parameters may be computed, and the partial density of the compound may be determined from a difference between the weighted combination and the first parameter.

    摘要: Water-based mud filtrate concentration in a downhole fluid sample drawn from the borehole of an oil well is assessed. To measure water-based mud filtrate concentration, a water-based mud having a water-soluble fluorescent dye tracer is pumped into the borehole; sample fluid from a selected downhole location is pumped through a downhole flow line having a window; sample fluid flowing in an excitation region of the downhole flow line is illuminated through the window with fluorescence excitation light; and fluorescence emission from the excitation region is measured to produce a measured value. The measured value represents the fraction of water-based mud filtrate in the sample fluid. A calibration value is determined representing 100% water-based mud filtrate. A method for validating a sample of connate water as having an acceptably low WBM filtrate contamination tests for validation downhole, in real time. Each measured value of the series of measured values is compared with a predetermined fraction of a calibration value. Samples that are validated may be captured and brought to the surface for analysis. A method using the time series data and a predetermined fraction of the calibration value calculates a predicted flushing time to completion.
