Abstract:
A method for performing contamination monitoring through estimation wherein measured data for optical density, gas to oil ratio, mass density and composition of fluid components are used to obtain plotting data and the plotting data is extrapolated to obtain contamination levels.
Abstract:
A method for contamination monitoring includes measuring water based mud filtrate density and resistivity at downhole conditions, logging properties of a downhole fluid to find at least a resistivity and a density of a fluid sample at the downhole conditions, establishing a linear relationship between a water based mud filtrate conductivity at downhole conditions and the water based mud filtrate density at the downhole conditions, determining a density and a resistivity for native formation water, estimating a density for water based mud filtrate using the linear relationship between conductivity and density, and estimating a water based mud filtrate contamination.
