Abstract

See full text

A formation fluid sample is analyzed using NMR spectroscopy to obtain a NMR spectrum. The NMR spectrum is then analyzed to find evidence of the amount of olefins present in the sample. The amount of olefins present in the sample can then be correlated to the level of contamination of the sample. In one embodiment, a 1H chemical shift of between substantially 4.5 and 6 ppm is used to identify olefins present in the sample. In another embodiment, a 1H chemical shift of substantially 1.9 to 2.1 ppm is used to identify olefins present in the sample. The NMR spectral equipment can be located uphole or downhole.
