System for near real time surface logging of a geothermal well, a hydrocarbon well, or a testing well using a mass spectrometer

摘要

A system for providing geological trends and real time mapping of a geological basin. The system provides in real time, information from a mass spectrometer on fluid samples from a wellbore, and forms a geochemical surface well log with graphical tracks. The system uses a dataset that includes geochemical, engineering, and geological information. The geochemical surface well log is viewable on a client device connected to a network. The geochemical well log provides information on well fluids and rocks, and displays data in graphical tracks. The mass spectrometer receives samples from a total hydrocarbon analyzer or a gas trap connected to the wellbore. The mass spectrometer performs analysis on fluid samples, and communicates in real time to the geochemical surface well log.
