Abstract
Oil fingerprinting technology is one of the most useful techniques deployed in exploration and reservoir geochemistry. From a production geochemistry perspective, this technology can be applied to:
- resolve production allocation
- address commingled production
- determine connectivity/compartmentalization
- identify active producing horizons
- support production monitoring and surveillance programs
- identify wellbore mechanical problems
- characterize bitumen and tar mats in reservoirs
Qatar Petroleum (QP) is now implementing Multi Dimensional Gas Chromatography (MDGC) technique for oil fingerprinting to support different business units.
