Geochemical Techniques for Solving Reservoir Management and Field Development Problems

Geochemistry offers an independent and relatively low-cost line of evidence for resolving field development and production questions where geological or engineering data are ambiguous. This course shows how to combine geochemical, geological and engineering data to tackle problems such as compartmentalisation and production allocation.
