16 Definitions and Theory Define mudlogging Define mudlogging gas measurements Percent Equivalent Methane in Air (% EMA) and Units EMA Explain why mudlogging is effective Compare resources for different reservoirs 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 16 0f 58

17 Definitions and Theory Define mudlogging and a mudlog A mudlog is a record over time of rig functions, gas and cuttings The basic mud log records: 1) drilling rate, 2) gas measured at the mudlogging unit and 3) cutting properties such as lithology and the presence of oil A mudlog presents the above properties and others as a function of depth 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 17 0f 58

18 Definitions and Theory EQUIVALENT METHANE IN AIR (% EMA) is a measure of methane in air at the measurement point (the mudlogging unit) expressed as a percent of methane in the air sample or expressed differently as10,000 parts per million methane by volume Calibrated and measured at the mudlogging unit, the whole system is not calibrated Although related to mudlogging gas content, % EMA is not a measure of gas in the formation or drilling mud Other hydrocarbon gases are presented as methane Typically 100 Units EMA equals 1% EMA 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 18 0f 58

19 Definitions and Theory MUDLOGGING IS EFFECTIVE BECAUSE: Gas is measured at the surface under STP Gas is insoluble in water and drilling mud Gas expands as it travels to the surface Mudlogging is independent of theories and models 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc.

31 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology The requirements to calibrate mudlogging show are: 1) The cubic feet of acetylene generate per pound of calcium carbide (yield) 2) Calibrate the mudlogging gas sensor with both acetylene and methane 3) The peak gas reading of a carbide lag using a measured amount of carbide 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 31 0f 58

32 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology The requirements to calibrate mudlogging show are: 4) The gas units during a mudlog show 5) The bit diameter 6) The drilling rate during a mudlog show 7) Simple mathematical computations to calculate gas liberated per minute and rock volume drilled per minute 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 32 0f 58

33 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology A measured amount of Calcium Carbide reacts with water to make known amount of acetylene gas: CaC 2 + H 2 0 = C 2 H 2 +CaO Before mudlogging a calibration using both acetylene and methane establishes a relationship between the gases for the mudlogging unit s gas sensors Before and after the zone of interest is drilled a known amount of Calcium Carbide (acetylene) is put in the drill string during connections and pumped to the surface. The peak gas value is recorded Using this data, a gas show in units EMA can be converted to SCF of gas liberated while drilling 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 33 0f 58

34 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology The hole volume is known, therefore, SCF/formation bulk volume (ft 3 ) can be calculated along with BCF/section or MCF/acre-foot. These are the standard measures of used in volumetric reservoir calculations If the formation density is known, gas content (SCF/Ton) can be calculated If Bg or Bo, the gas expansion factor or the oil shrinkage factor, is known reservoir hydrocarbon foot (SoPhieH or HCF) along with Bvg or reservoir gas porosity can be calculated 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 34 0f 58

35 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology 0.5 cup of calcium carbide yields SCF acetylene 125 units of acetylene reads 250 units EMA in the mudlogging unit 0.5 cup of calcium carbide in a connection before the zone yields 200 units of acetylene Calculate a conversion factor from the above data and Avogadro's Law Conversion factor SCF CH 4 /1 UNIT EMA 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc.

Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 38 0f 58

39 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology Penetration rate in the zone is 0.5 minutes/foot Hole diameter is 8.5 inches Calculate the hole bulk volume (BV) drilled per minute Hole Volume/Minute = BV Cubic Feet/Minute 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 39 0f 58

40 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology Divide the gas liberated per minute by the hole volume drilled per minute 7.23(SCF/Minute) / (BV CF/Minute) = 9.17 SCF/BV CF Conversion factors can be used to calculate BCF/Section foot or MCF/Acre foot 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 40 0f 58

41 Mudlogging Gas Content Methodology Zone density is 1.4 gms/cc Convert hole BV CF to Tons by using density Gas content 210 SCF/Ton Zone depth 1,000, Bg = 36.4 Convert SCF to Reservoir CF by using Bg Bulk Volume Mudlog Gas 0.25 CF/BV or 25% 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 41 0f 58

42 Factors Influencing Mudlogging The factors which influence mudlogging can be grouped into two general categories: Deterministic factors (hole size, drilling rate, etc.) Indeterminate factors (flushing, background gas, surface losses, gas trap performance) Carbide calibration accounts for all factors 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 42 0f 58

43 Factors Influencing Mudlogging Deterministic factors affecting mudlog gas are: Gas in the formation Hole size Drilling rate Mud pump rate Gas expansion 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 43 0f 58

44 Factors Influencing Mudlogging If all other factors are equal, doubling the gas in the formation doubles the gas show 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 44 0f 58

45 Factors Influencing Mudlogging If all other factors are equal, doubling the hole diameter, quadruples the gas show 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 45 0f 58

46 Factors Influencing Mudlogging If all other factors are equal, doubling the drilling rate, doubles the gas show 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 46 0f 58

47 Factors Influencing Mudlogging If all other factors are equal, doubling mud pump rate, decreased by one half the gas show 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 47 0f 58

48 Factors Influencing Mudlogging If all other factors are equal, doubling the depth of the formation doubles the gas show in conventional reservoirs 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 48 0f 58

49 Factors Influencing Mudlogging Indeterminate factors are: Recycled gas (minor) Contaminated mud (seldom) Formation flushing (minor) Loses while drilling (seldom) A kick while drilling (seldom) Uphole kicks or loses (seldom) 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 49 0f 58

55 Factors Influencing Mudlogging GRI Gas Measurements During Mud Logging Operations 24/January/2014 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 55 0f 58

56 Factors Influencing Mudlogging Notice all the potential errors: 100 units of gas in the mud could read as high as 200 units or as low as 3 units due to gas trap design Gas losses as much as 40% due to loss in the flow line Gas losses as much as 50% due to wind A six fold change in methane solubility in water from 40ºF to 180ºF All of these losses can be normalized or compensated for by the use of calibrated carbide lagging. The next slide shows that acetylene behaves like methane over a wide range of conditions. If carbide lag results are consistent, it indicates good quality mudlogging 24/January/201 4 Donovan Brothers Inc. Automated Mudlogging Systems SM Slide 56 0f 58
