  • Patent number: 10571451
    Abstract: A method of monitoring the drilling of a wellbore having a drilling fluid that circulates in the wellbore during drilling, comprises: Extracting a plurality of gaseous compounds from a sample of drilling fluid exiting the wellbore, Measuring a quantity y(i) of at least a group of compounds, each group comprises comprising at least one extracted gaseous compound, Determining, from the measured quantity y(i) and an extraction coefficient ?(i) associated to each group, the content x(i) of each group of gaseous compounds present in the sample of drilling fluid, Deriving a drilling indicator from the content x(i) of at least one group of gaseous compounds.

  • Patent number: 10184334
    Abstract: Various implementations directed to analyzing a reservoir using fluid analysis are provided. In one implementation, a method may include determining mud gas logging (MGL) data based on drilling mud associated with a wellbore traversing a reservoir of interest. The method may also include determining first downhole fluid analysis (DFA) data based on a first reservoir fluid sample obtained at a first measurement station in the wellbore. The method may further include determining predicted DFA data for the wellbore based on the first DFA data. The method may additionally include determining second DFA data based on a second reservoir fluid sample obtained at a second measurement station in the wellbore. The method may further include analyzing the reservoir based on a comparison of the MGL data and a comparison of the second DFA data to the predicted DFA data.
