Evaluation of the horizontal and vertical fluid connectivity among oil reservoir units helps efficiently management of petroleum assets. Intertek utilizes hydrocarbon fingerprinting technology along with state-of-the-art chemometrics to provide optimal reservoir continuity assessments.
Hydrocarbon fingerprints help analyze reservoir continuiy assessment. The primary tool for fingerprinting hydrocarbons is high resolution gas chromatography (GC). Intertek analytical procedures assure consistency among data, including analysis of frequent standards and “same batch” analysis of samples from a single study. When required, other analyses are used along with the high resolution GC.
Intertek uses a variety of the most sophisticated chemometric techniques available to evaluate the data, and applies multiple techniques including principle component analysis, multivariate curve resolution, alternating least squares, and many others. High resolution and consistency of the data, along with optimized data analysis, provide exceptional reservoir continuity assessment.
Optimization of data to minimize variations from sampling, storage and analysis include:
