WRITTEN TEST FOR MUD LOGGING GEOLOGIST

WRITTEN TEST FOR MUD LOGGING GEOLOGIST

 WHAT ARE SOURCE ROCKS?

Source rock in an organic matter if heated sufficiently will generate oil or gas. Ex: Shale, and Limestone, etc,

WHAT ARE RESERVOIR ROCKS?

A subsurface body of rock having sufficient porosity and permeability to store and transmit fluids. Ex: Sand, Limestone, etc.

WHAT ARE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS?

Sand, Sandstone, limestone, clay, claystone, shale, siltstone, etc.,

WHAT ARE CLASTIC ROCKS?

Sedimentary rocks are classified on the basis of the texture (grain size) of the rock, and composition.

It is physically or mechanical Weatherly formed. Examples: sand, claystone, siltstone, etc.

 

WHAT ARE CARBONATE ROCKS?

Carbonate rocks are "Chemical or Biochemical" in origin.

Limestone: 1. Calcite & 2.Aragonite

Dolostone :1.Dolomite

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIMESTONE AND DOLOMITE?

Limestone is a fast reaction with HCL (caco3) and Dolomite is a slow reaction with HCL Ca(Mgco3)2

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHALE AND CLAYSTONE?

Shale: hard, fissility, dark color, sharp edge. Claystone: smooth, firm, friable, subblocky.

 

WHY DO WE SEE SAMPLES IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT?

To find the cut fluorescence.

WHAT              ARE        CAVINGS       AND         HOW        MANY         TYPES       OF CAVINGS?

Pieces of rock that came from the wellbore but that were not removed directly by the action of the drill bit. Caving can be splinter, shares, chunks and various shapes of rock usually spalling from shale sections that have become unstable. The shape of the caving can indicate why the rock failure occurred. The term is typically used in the plural form.

 

WHICH TYPES OF GASES ARE ENCOUNTERED FROM BOREHOLE?

Two types of gases

1.   Continues gases

2.   Discontinues gases

Continued gases: Are entered as a smooth curve, examples being background gas and gas shows.

Discontinues gases: are entered in histogram fashion, or high peak and sudden less peak Examples: connection gas, trip gas, pump off-gas, survey gas, etc.

 

        WHY DO WE RUN CARBIDE?

It allows for a check on the lag time and it serves as a check on the efficiency of the gas equipment.

 

        WHAT IS THE MEANING OF HOLE INTAKE? WRITE FORMULA OF HOLE INTAKE OF 1 FT OF 8½” SECTION.

During drilling, the open hole will take or fill some mud which is called hole intake. OD2/1029.4 = 0.0701 bbl/ft.

       WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RPM AND TORQUE? WHAT ARE NORMAL CONDITIONS AND WHAT ARE ABNORMAL CONDITIONS?

Both directional proposion. During hard formation drilling, torque will be more. Which means the rotary took more power. During soft formation drilling torque will be less. Which means the rotary took less power. Note: In case the bit life has gone; the torque will indicate more vibration or abnormal reading which is called abnormal conditions.

        WHICH TYPE OF BIT TORQUE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT?

Rock Bit while washed-out torque will more these are very important.

        WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOB AND HOOK LOAD?

Indirect proposion, during drilling when they apply more weight on bit, HL will reduce.  When the hook will lift WOB will reduce and HL will more. This measures the tension on the deadline portion of the drilling line. It is used in weight on it and cable stretch calculations.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLOW IN AND STANDPIPE PRESSURE? WHAT ARE NORMAL CONDITIONS AND WHAT ARE ABNORMAL CONDITIONS?

These are direct proposion When pumping through standpipe will get a certain SPP.

Normal condition: When increase flow; the standpipe pressure must be increased, when decrease flow the standpipe pressure must decrease.

Abnormal condition: When increased flow SPP less mean, maybe mud cut or unbalanced mud weight.

     WHAT IS A DRILLING BREAK?

This allows rapid changes in the Rate of penetration (ROP) or drill breaks, possibly indicative of the change in lithology, to be picked up quickly

There are two types:

 

1.   A fast or Positive Drill break, Drill break is when there is a sharp, increase in ROP (Soft formation ex: sand)

 

2.   A Slow or Negative Drill break is when there is a sharp, decrease in ROP (Hard formation ex: claystone, shale)

         WHAT IS BACK REAMING?

When the open hole is more depth, they will pull back to the casing shoe with mud circulation, which is called back reaming.

     WHAT IS HOLE INCLINATION?

This is the angle from vertical measured in the vertical plane. Vertical is 0 degrees.

     WHAT IS HOLE AZIMUTH?

This is the direction of the deviation measured in the horizontal plane. North is 0 degrees and 360 degrees the increase being clockwise.

 

    WHAT ARE DOWNSTROKES?

Total pipe capacity/pump output is called downstroke.

     WHAT ARE LAG STROKES?

After the rock is cut by the bit at the bottom, it takes a certain stroke to reach the surface which is called a lag stroke.    Total annular volume/ pump output.

     WHAT ARE SURFACE TO SURFACE STROKES

Surface to the subsurface to travel it take certain stroke this is called a surface stroke.

     WHAT IS WATER-BASED MUD?

A drilling fluid (mud) in which water or saltwater is the major liquid phase as well as the wetting external phase. General categories of water base mud are freshwater, seawater, salt water, lime, potassium, and silicate.

     WHAT IS OIL BASE MUD?

        Mud in which the external phase is a product obtained forms an oil, such as diesel oil or mineral oil.

        Oil mud is more exactly defined as synthetic base mud. Synthetic mud is analogous to oil mud.
