Helping to Understand Compartmentalization and Reservoir Segmentation Using Mass Spectrometer Mud Gas Analysis

The development of a portable mass spectrometer suitable for drillsite deployments has made possible a new generation of geochemical evaluation that is contributing significantly to better reservoir understanding and in some cases improved completion strategies. The analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in both lateral and vertical wells can yield a useful depiction of heterogeneity by determining segments of compartmentalization related to variability in composition of inorganic and organic compounds, permeability, stratigraphy and micro-fracturing.
