Abstract

See full text

A method of estimating one or more properties of an earth formation includes disposing a carrier in a borehole in an earth formation as part of an energy industry operation, receiving borehole fluid from the borehole, estimating at least one property of the borehole fluid associated with one or more intervals along the borehole, and generating a mud log that indicates values of the at least one property at the one or more intervals, the at least one property including at least one of gas content and cuttings content. The method also includes estimating, by a processor, one or more properties of the formation based on the mud log, the one or more properties selected from at least one of lithology, permeability, total organic carbon and brittleness, and controlling one or more operational parameters of the energy industry operation based on the one or more properties of the formation.
