Geochemical and Organic Petrography Studies
We carry out hydrocarbon characterization, defining their origin, evolution, and level of degradation, as well as the source rock, thermal evolution and maturity of the organic matter precursor to the hydrocarbons, and potential migration pathways to maximize resource utilization.
We conduct comprehensive studies that enable the characterization of produced fluids in a reservoir, assessing potential connectivity and compartmentalization to plan production across different stratigraphic levels.
Capabilities
- Human resources of experts and specialists in the study, analysis, integration, and interpretation of geochemical data.
- Specialized personnel for sampling oil and gas at the wellhead.
- State-of-the-art technological infrastructure in accredited laboratories with advanced instruments and equipment for various geochemical analyses and techniques, including deasphalting, bitumen separation, and preparation and conditioning of rock and oil samples for geochemical and petrographic analyses.
- Safeguarding and preservation of oil samples in oil libraries, kerogen slides, vitrinite pellets, and whole rock pellets.
Benefits for the client
- Support in assessing petroleum potential by performing geochemical and optical analyses of rock and fluid samples to aid in the interpretation of Petroleum Systems.
