Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are described for estimating the level of contamination of downhole fluid and underlying composition using physical property measurements, and mathematical modeling of contamination functions and fluid property mixing laws. The proposed approaches enable computation of estimates of the pumping time needed to achieve a certain contamination threshold level and the determination of whether or not sampling is appropriate at the current point in time based on the predicted compositional properties of the formation fluid.
