Abstract (en)

A method may include receiving data related to a wellbore fluid, a wellbore, and a geological formation. The method may then determine properties associated with the wellbore fluid over a period of time based on the data; determine temperature values associated with the wellbore fluid based on the data and the properties associated with the wellbore fluid; determine an expected shape of the annulus space based on the data, the properties associated with the wellbore fluid, and the temperature values; and determine bottom-hole fluid properties associated with the wellbore fluid based on the properties of the wellbore fluid and the temperature values. The method may then generate a wellbore fluid placement map based on the bottom-hole fluid properties, the shape of the annulus space, and the temperature values, such that the wellbore fluid placement map includes expected concentration levels of the wellbore fluid.
