Test Results
Results from a test selected in the data grid are shown in the “Test Results”
group. The various results are grouped and are described below.
Group: Composition (corrected for Salt)
•
Oil %: the volumetric percent (fraction) of oil in the sample
•
Brine %: the volumetric percent of brine in the drilling fluid sample
•
Solids %: the volumetric percent of solids in the drilling fluid sample, cor
-
rected for the presence of salt
• Oil / Brine Ratio: the ratio of oil to water volumetric fraction in the drilling
fluid sample
Group : Retort Equivalent Results
•
Oil %: the volumetric percent (fraction) of oil in the sample
• Water %: the volumetric fraction of water in the sample, similar to what
would be measured on the retort
•
Solids %: the volumetric percent of Solids in the drilling fluid sample, simi
-
lar to what would be measured on the retort
• Oil / Water Ratio: the ratio of oil to water volumetric fraction in the drilling
fluid sample
Group : Solids Analysis
•
Mud Density (lb/gal): the calculated density of the drilling fluid based on
the calculated (estimated) volumetric fraction of components and the re
-
spective density of each component. This should match or be very close
to the input mud density.
•
Avg SG Solids: the average (or equivalent) density of all solids in the drill
-
ing fluid sample
•
HGS % / (lb/bbl): the volumetric fraction of high gravity solids (barite) in
the drilling fluid sample, and the mass concentration in lb/bbl
•
LGS % / (lb/bbl): the volumetric fraction of low gravity solids (drill solids) in
the drilling fluid sample, and the mass concentration in lb/bbl
