Reservoir Geochemistry
Reservoir geochemistry can be used to help address questions including:
Is there a relationship between stacked reservoirs in a single well, or a relationship between reservoirs from different wells?
Are a series of reservoirs in communication or do barriers exist between them?
Can the production from a number of reservoirs be tracked and allocated?
Is there a problem with leakage of underground piping?
