Method and apparatus for water-based mud filtrate contamination monitoring in real time downhole water sampling

摘要

A method for contamination monitoring includes measuring water based mud filtrate density and resistivity at downhole conditions, logging properties of a downhole fluid to find at least a resistivity and a density of a fluid sample at the downhole conditions, establishing a linear relationship between a water based mud filtrate conductivity at downhole conditions and the water based mud filtrate density at the downhole conditions, determining a density and a resistivity for native formation water, estimating a density for water based mud filtrate using the linear relationship between conductivity and density, and estimating a water based mud filtrate contamination.
