The determination of the change in chemical composition of the diluted drill fluid and its separation from the chemical background contributed by the drill fluid, drill mud, and other aquifer leakage is the essence of the chemical log. Samples of the drill fluid were collected for chemical analysis at certain times during the drilling operations. The chemical logging study of the geothermal wells is described. (MHR)
