Species Analyzed by the Dq1000

Species Analyzed by the Dq1000

  • C1-C10 organic species
  • Discriminates among paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics
  • BTEX compounds and organic acids
  • Inorganic volatiles such as CO2, He, N2 and other atmospherics, sulfur species, H2, etc.
  • Identifies contribution from mud system and organic additives

Why Analyze these Additional Compounds?

  • Better estimates of petroleum type and quality
  • Identifying fluid contacts
  • Delineating porosity/permeability trends
  • Inferring nearby charge in wet reservoirs
  • Establishing reservoir and basin compartmentalization
Paraffins, naphthenes, aromatics, BTEX compounds
