Abstract

ABSTRACT A procedure is described by which oil flushing during coring of steamed and unsteamed heavy oil formations can be estimated. Chemical tracers in the drilling mud are used to indicate if filtrate invasion is occurring. Core saturation analyses are coupled with data from high velocity corefloods and temperature-dependent residual oil saturation measurements to estimate oil flushing during coring.
