  • LIGHT CRUDE OIL FLUID IDENTIFICATION WITHIN AN OBM DRILLING FLUID BASE/FILTRATE
    Publication number: 20240159660
    Abstract: A method for determining whether crude oil has been produced from a hydrocarbon reservoir wellbore that has been drilled using an oil-based mud (OBM). The method includes proving the OBM which contains a tracer, filtering the OBM to obtain an OBM filtrate comprising the tracer, determining a baseline absorbance value for the OBM filtrate containing the tracer, determining a baseline absorbance value for the crude oil, introducing the OBM filtrate into a hydrocarbon reservoir wellbore, conducting a wellbore operation with the OBM, producing a sample from the well, measuring a measured absorbance value for the sample, and comparing the measured absorbance value with the baseline absorbance values for the OBM filtrate and the baseline absorbance value for the crude oil to determine whether crude oil is present in the sample.
