Title Description |
As well as being of interest in its own right, reservoir geochemistry has many important practical applications during petroleum exploration, appraisal and development. The most important uses are related to proving or disproving connectivity between different regions of a particular well or horizon. During exploration, reservoir geochemistry can indicate the direction from which a field filled, pointing the way for future wells. During production, studies of variations in composition with time may also be made, although this is a little-studied area at present.
This book gives a snapshot of current academic and industrial into reservoir geochemistry. The volume opens with an introductory chapter by the editors, followed by seven papers on general reviews new techniques and then eight case studies.
