Section 4 gives a corrected Mud Resistivity, which when entered in IDEAL will compute the salinity as that of the value obtained from the ion conc
 1 Chloride Concentration (Convert mg/L Cl to mg/L NaCl) Source
Chloride Concentration = 13000 mg/L Mud Report
NaCl Concentration = 21450 mg/L

2 Calculate Salinity of Mud in KPPM

Mud Salinity = 21450 mg/L NaCl
Mud Salinity = 20902 PPM
Mud Salinity = 20.90 kPPM

3 Compare with IDEAL Salinity Calculation from Rm @ Temp

Mud Resistivity (Rm) = 0.0120 ohm.m Measure DMT DEG C
Mud Sample Temperature = 110.0 DEG C Measure DMT DEG F
R 75 = 0.0347 ohm.m
Salinity (IDEAL) = 286.73 kPPM

4 Calculate Rm for Salinity

Mud Salinity = 286.73 kPPM
R 75 = 0.0347 ohm.m 0.0347
Mud Sample Temperature = 110.0 DEG C
Mud Resistivity @ Temp = 0.0120 ohm.m 0.0120

Enter R75 as Mud Sample Resistivity 0.0347 and Mud Sample Temperature 75 DEG F OR
