    Abstract: A method includes operating a downhole acquisition tool in a wellbore in a geological formation. The wellbore or the geological formation, or both contains a fluid that includes a native reservoir fluid of the geological formation and a contaminant. The method also includes receiving a portion of the fluid into the downhole acquisition tool, measuring a fluid property of the portion of the fluid using the downhole acquisition tool, and using the processor to estimate a fluid property of the native reservoir fluid based on the measured fluid property of the portion of the fluid and a regression model that may predict an asymptote of a growth curve. The asymptote corresponds to the estimated fluid property of the native formation fluid, and the regression model includes a geometric fitting model other than a power-law model.

    Abstract: A downhole tool is operated to pump fluid from a subterranean formation while obtaining fluid property measurements pertaining to the pumped fluid. The downhole tool is in communication with surface equipment located at the wellsite surface. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment is operated to estimate a first linear, exponential, logarithmic, and/or other relationship between compressibility and pressure of the pumped fluid based on the fluid property measurements. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment may also be operated to estimate a second linear, exponential, logarithmic, and/or other relationship between formation volume factor and pressure of the pumped fluid based on the first relationship. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment may also be operated to measure and correct optical density of the pumped fluid based on the first relationship.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for operating a downhole tool within a wellbore adjacent a subterranean formation to pump contaminated fluid from the formation into the downhole tool while measuring first and second fluid properties of the contaminated fluid. The contaminated fluid comprises native fluid from the formation and a contaminant. The downhole tool is in communication with surface equipment located at surface. The downhole tool and/or surface equipment is operated to estimate a formation volume factor of the contaminated fluid based on at least one of the first and second fluid properties of the contaminated fluid. A linear relationship is then estimated between the first fluid property and a function that relates the first fluid property to the second fluid property and the estimated formation volume factor of the contaminated fluid. A fluid property of the contaminant is then estimated based on the estimated linear relationship.
