Abstract

ABSTRACT Data obtainable with a low cost wellsite total gas detector can provide valuable assistance in production drilling. Gas liberated by the drill bit into the drilling mud is an effective tool for accurate perforation selection even if wireline log interpretation proves inconclusive. Gas produced into the mud system by the formation provides valuable assistance in detecting and monitoring abnormal pressure. Optimum mud weight can also be determined from produced gas data.
