  • Thermal maturity determination of rock formations using mud gas isotope logging
    Patent number: 11313224
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the thermal maturity of a rock formation from isotopic values in gases are provided. Isotope values may be obtained from mud gas isotope logging, vitrinite reflectance equivalence values may be determined from core samples using known techniques. A relationship between vitrinite reflectance equivalence and isotopic values, such as carbon-13 methane values, may be determined. The vitrinite reflectance equivalence may then be determined from isotopic values to determine the thermal maturity of rock formations accessed by drilling additional exploration wells.
    Type: Grant
