Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to fluid analysis, and more particularly to formation fluid analysis.
  • Wireline logging is used in the oil and gas field industry to investigate and determine properties of hydrocarbon reservoir formations.
  • a wireline logging operation begins by lowering a wireline tool into a wellbore that traverses a formation.
  • the wireline tool includes a probe for extracting formation fluid from the formation and pumping the formation fluid into the wireline tool.
  • this formation fluid is then optically analyzed to determine a chemical composition for the fluid. This data provides valuable information about the hydrocarbon reservoir formation that can be used later in completing and producing the well.
  • the optical analysis is performed using a "clean" formation fluid, which may take a great deal of time to obtain due to mud filtrate contamination within the formation.
  • the mud filtrate contamination comes from drilling mud within the wellbore.
  • the drilling mud can be oil-based or water-based. In many cases, the drilling mud penetrates a distance into the wellbore and contaminates the formation fluid. This mud filtrate contamination can invalidate an optical analysis.
  • oil-based mud filtrate within the sample can cause inflated values of lumped alkanes with carbon numbers equal to or greater than six (e.g., C 6+ fraction).
  • mud filtrate within the sample can cause optical scattering from mud particulates and emulsions (e.g., oil/water mixtures), which can also invalidate an optical analysis.
  • the wireline tool continuously extracts formation fluid from the formation and pumps the formation fluid through the tool. Eventually, due to the limited penetration distance of the drilling mud into the formation, the formation fluid entering the wireline tool will "clean up” and will no longer contain a substantial amount of mud filtrate. The analysis can then be performed on this "clean" sample of formation fluid.
  • the cleanup time may vary between an hour and 24 hours. The total cleanup time is compounded when cleanup is repeated at multiple sampling locations within the formation.
  • Illustrative embodiments are directed to a method for determining a property of a formation.
  • the method includes positioning a wellbore tool at a location within a wellbore.
  • a formation fluid is withdrawn from the formation using the wellbore tool.
  • the formation fluid is passed through a flow line within the wellbore tool and a formation fluid sample is extracted from the flow line.
  • the method further includes analyzing the formation fluid sample within the wellbore tool to determine a property of the formation fluid sample.
  • the analysis is performed by excluding mud filtrate contamination within the flow line. Thus, in some cases, the analysis is performed before the formation fluid within the flow line has "cleaned up" and while there is still substantial mud filtrate contamination within the flow line.
  • Various embodiments are also directed to another method for determining a property of a formation contaminated with water-based mud filtrate.
  • a wellbore tool is positioned at a location within a wellbore and a formation fluid is withdrawn from the formation using the wellbore tool.
  • the formation fluid is passed through a flow line within the wellbore tool and a formation fluid sample is extracted from the flow line.

  • Further illustrative embodiments are also directed to another method for determining a property of a formation contaminated with oil-based mud filtrate.
  • the method includes positioning a wellbore tool at a location within a wellbore and withdrawing a formation fluid from the formation using the wellbore tool.
  • the formation fluid is passed through a flow line within the wellbore tool and a formation fluid sample is extracted from the flow line.

For example, the wellbore tool is moved to a second sampling location and the rapid formation analysis method is performed to determine a partial chemical composition of the formation fluid. By comparing the partial chemical composition at the second sampling location to the more complete chemical composition at the first sampling location, the connectivity between the sampling locations can be determined.
  • a more comprehensive analysis at the second sampling location can be performed (e.g., an analysis of an uncontammated formation fluid). If there is connectivity between the two sampling locations, then a determination that the two sampling locations have similar formation properties can be made and the wellbore tool does not perform a more comprehensive analysis at the second sampling location. Instead, the wellbore tool moves on to analyze the formation at a third sampling location. This process can be repeated iteratively. In this manner, the rapid formation analysis method can be used to avoid acquisition of redundant data at multiple sampling locations, which, in turn, also increases logging efficiency.
