Stable Isotope Techniques for Gas and Oil Exploration and Production

Isotopes Measurements Benefit Reservoir Analysis

New quantitative aspects of gas formation for gas potential assessment and source rock identification and prediction of co-produced liquids in oil and gas exploration are available for petroleum exploration and production clients. Stable isotopes are used in development and production of oil and gas fields for compartment definition, flow unit identification, reservoir communication and production allocation and other field operations. Intertek exploration and production services provide key field and laboratory services related to the use of isotopes to help optimize production and exploration results.

Use of Isotopes for Exploration Applications:

 

  • Fundamentals of gas isotopes
  • Sampling and analysis
  • Processes of gas formation
  • Quantification of gas formation
  • Gas Potential
  • Timing of gas formation
  • Co-produced liquids
  • The concept of empirical calibration and prediction
    of gas properties
  • Formation, assessment and potential prediction
    of CO2
