Abstract: A method for predicting fluid properties includes measuring one or more measured fluid properties of a mud gas at a surface of a wellbore. The method also includes measuring one or more mud gas properties of the mud gas at the surface of the wellbore. The method also includes predicting one or more first predicted fluid properties using one or more pre-trained machine-learning (ML) models. The one or more first predicted fluid properties are predicted based at least partially upon the one or more mud gas properties. The method also includes comparing the one or more measured fluid properties to the one or more first predicted fluid properties. The method also includes re-training the one or more pre-trained ML models to produce one or more re-trained ML models in response to the comparison.

Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement, at two or more depths of investigation, of a subsurface formation containing formation water and a mud filtrate from a water-base mud is obtained, and the mud filtrate is distinguished from the formation water. A NMR logging tool is disposed in a wellbore penetrating the formation containing the mud filtrate and the formation water and NMR measurements at different radial depths of investigation into the formation are made. The mud filtrate is distinguished from the formation water by determining the relative salinities of the mud filtrate and the formation water. The relative salinities are determined by comparing distribution relaxation times across different depths of investigation or by comparing logarithmic mean values across different depths of investigation.
