Application of fluorescence techniques for mud-logging analysis of oil drilled with oil-based muds. M.V. Reyes. SPE Formation Evaluation, December 1994, 9(4), 300--305.

The purpose of the study reported is to demonstrate the possibility of detecting the native hydrocarbons extracted from drill cuttings with a rock matrix that was infiltrated by oil-based muds. A total scanning fluorescence (TSF) technique is described which provides a new capability to characterize crude oils further and distinguish them from similar fluorescing substances, such as oil-based muds. The effectiveness of quantitative fluorescent techniques (QFT) is also described and a feasibility study is included which demonstrates the applicability of both QFT and TSF methods in a North Sea well drilled with an oil-based mud. 9 refs.
