Application of mud gas analysis for reservoir evaluation

Abstract
Mud gas, which is usually used for monitoring the safety of the wells while drilling, can also be used as a formation evaluation tool. This study aims to analyse mud gas ratios and compare them with the traditional formation evaluation tools, such as resistivity. The analysis of four wells, either exploration or development wells, located in differing geological settings, shows that qualitatively, mud gas can be robustly used as a formation tool to show the identity of fluids in the reservoir zones.
