    Experiment No. 6 Mud Resistivity

    Uploaded by

    Alimahmood Bahrani
    This document describes an experiment to measure mud resistivity. It introduces that mud, mud cake, and mud filtrate resistivity influence electric logs taken in that mud. The resistivity of drilling mud is affected by dissolved salts in the water portion and insoluble solids, with higher salt concentrations lowering resistivity. Unlike metals, resistivity in solutions decreases with increasing temperature. The objective is to measure mud resistivity using analog and digital resistivity meters. The test procedure involves removing excess water from a filter cake sample, placing it in a resistivity cell, pressing buttons to obtain a reading of the mud cake resistivity and recording the temperature.

    Mud resistivity

    Introduction:
    Measurements of the resistivity of water muds, filtrates and filter cakes
    are routinely applied in electrical logging. Under some conditions, better
    evaluation of formation characteristics may be had by controlling
    resistivity while drilling is in progress. Resistivity measurement provides
    a rapid means of detecting soluble salts in barite and in waters, such as
    produced waters.

    Theory:
    The resistivity of a drilling mud is influenced by the dissolved salts
    (ppm) or (G/G, grains per gallon) in the water portion and the insoluble
    solid material contained in the water portion. The greater the
    concentration of dissolved salts, the lower resistivity of the solution.
    Unlike metals, the resistivity of a solution decreases as temperature
    increases. It is necessary to measure resistivity because the mud, mud
    cake, mud filtrate resistivity exert a strong effect on the electric logs
    taken in that mud. The mud resistivity varies greatly from the actual
    resistivity values due to the various factors encountered in the actual
    operation.

    Objective:
    Measuring mud resistivity.

    Test Equipment:
    Fig. (1): Analog and Digital Resistivity Meters

    Fig(2)

    Test Procedure:
    1. Remove excess water from filter cake.
    2. Fill the slot on top of the cell with mud cake.
    3. Press black button and adjust for full scale.
    4. While keeping the black button depressed, press red button.
    5. Reading on the meter is the resistivity of mud cake.
    6. Record the resistivity of the mud cake and the temperature of the cell.
    7. Remove the cell and clean thoroughly with distilled water.
