Abstract
A system for analyzing reservoir fluids in connection with a drilling operation includes an injection system for providing geochemical analysis of injected drilling fluids; a production system for providing geochemical analysis of produced drilling fluids; a cuttings system for providing geochemical analysis fluid recovered from reservoir cuttings; and a fluid characterization system for characterizing reservoir fluids of a reservoir intersected by the drilling operation based on geochemical analysis from the injection system, the production system, and the cutting system. The fluid characterization system is coupled to the injection system, the production system, and the cutting system.
