Problem

-17 100

From Logging data :

Temperature @ Surface = 25 C
1375TVDm
Temperature @ 1500 TVDm = 75 C
SP curve as shown picture on the left side
From Mud Logging data :
Rmf @ 25 C = 0.09 ohm-m
Questions :
Find Rw@ depth 2000 MDm (1390 TVDm) ?
1400TVDm
Find Rw@ depth 2050 MDm (1420 TVDm) ?
Do they use Fresh mud, Salt mud or Oil based mud ?
Notes :
TVD m = meter True Vertical Depth
1420 TVDm MD m = meter Measured Depth
1425TVDm

Solution

Determine the temperature at the depth were asked

25 C

?? 75 C

Surface

Pressure gradient
calculation is always
using TVD !!

Pressure gradient = (75-25)/(1500-0) = 0.033 C/m

Temperature@ 1390 TVDm = 25+(0.033*1390)
= 71.33 C

1390 m
1420 m
1500 m

Temperature@ 1420 TVDm = 25+(0.033*1420)

= 72.33 C

1420 TVDm
Rmf @ 25 C = 0.09 ohm-m

Temperature@ 1420 TVDm = 72.33 C

Rmf @ 72.33 C = 0.043 ohm-m

0.043

Halliburton Solution

1420 TVDm
Rmf @ 25 C = 0.09 ohm-m

Temperature@ 1420 TVDm = 72.33 C

Rmf @ 72.33 C = 0.043 ohm-m
SSP = -17 mV

Rw @ 1420 TVDm
= 0.031 ohm-m

0.031
0.031

Schlumberger Solution

@ 1390 TVDm

SSP = -K log (Rmfe/Rwe)

K = 60+0.133T (F)
T @ 1390 TVDm = 71.3 C = 160.4 F
K = 60+(0.133x160.4) = 81.33
We need Rmfe and Rwe data !!!!!!!!!!!

Determination of Rmfe
T @ 1390 TVDm = 71.3 C
= 160.4 F
Rmf @ 71.3 C = 0.045 ohm-m

Rmfe @ 160.4 F = 0.035 ohm-m

Determination of Rwe
T @ 1390 TVDm = 71.3 C
= 160.4 F
Rmfe @ 160.4 F = 0.035 ohm-m
SSP = -25 mV

Rwe @ 160.4 F = 0.017 ohm-m

Determination of Rwe
T @ 1390 TVDm = 71.3 C
= 160.4 F
Rwe @ 160.4 F = 0.017 ohm-m

Rw @ 160.4 F = 0.03 ohm-m

Exercise SP Log
From log header, Rmf = 0.09 -m @ 75 F
From interpolation, formation temperature = 150 F
From log, SSP = 50 mV
Determine : Rmf @ 150 F and Rw @ depth
