Abstract
A method for determining volumetric data for fluid within a geological formation is provided. The method includes collecting first and second dataset snapshots of the geological formation based upon measurements from the borehole at respective different first and second times and generating a differential dataset based upon the first and second dataset snapshots. Multiple points are determined within the differential dataset, including a first point representing a first displaced fluid, a second point representing a second displaced fluid, and an injected fluid point that corresponds to properties of the injected fluid. A further third point is determined based on at least one other property of the displaced fluid, and a volumetric composition of the displaced fluids is determined based upon the differential dataset, the first point, and second point, and third point.
