Abstract

Summary

Mudlogging has been rapidly evolving through the years. It has changed from a basic service for early kick detection and has become capable of supplying very important pieces of information about the reservoir and the fluids contained within.

Some of the data used for these interpretations can’t be collected anywhere else (e.g. continuous isotopic data), some others tend to lose information as time goes by (hydrocarbons absorbed on the cuttings).

Nowadays mudlogging units equipped with advanced geochemical characterization instruments are capable of providing an integration of geochemical data and mud log analysis in order to provide the most comprehensive framework for reservoir characterization. The added value of real time analysis is paramount to the timely intervention on the field and can support key operational decisions.

The presentation will focus on newly-adapted technologies at the wellsite and on their successful operation stories with the extended use of examples and case histories from the field.
