Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Methods and systems are provided for downhole analysis of formation fluids by deriving fluid properties and associated uncertainty in the predicted fluid properties based on downhole data and generating answer products of interest based on differences in the fluid properties. Measured data are used to compute levels of contamination in downhole fluids using an oil-base mud contamination monitoring (OCM) algorithm. Fluid properties are predicted for the fluids and uncertainties in predicted fluid properties are derived. A statistical framework is provided for comparing the fluids to generate in real-time, robust answer products relating to the formation fluids and reservoirs thereof. …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 10, 2006 and granted February 25, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 10, 2026.
- Certificates of supplementary protection extend only drug patents, and it isn't classified as one.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
