BENEFITS
- All species are read on a linear scale – even if any are at notably different abundances
- Provide more information for drilling data interpretaion
- May assist with lateral steering by detecting and characterizing components in order to identify lithologic/stratagraphic units
- Track changes in the reservoir fluid profile including GOR changes and “sweet spots” of improved Oil/Gas contribution
- Indicate relatively hydrocarbon depleted or residual intervals
- Assist with identifying Gas/Oil/Water contacts and transitions
- Monitor for relative Hydrogen increases which can directly indicate bit wear and motor failure
- Distinctly indicate onset and base of pay sections in vertical wells
- Identify limits for fluid compartments and vertical charge units which can then be used to map and characterize composition changes
- Assists with directly indicating water saturation increases
- Comparisons between Helium and/or Argon to Methane can directly indicate porosity and permeability profile changes
- Geolocate producible H2S sources in both lateral and vertical wells
- No calibration gases needed. Atmospheric Nitrogen, Oxygen, & Argon are used in the process.
- Integration with existing mudlogging operations, or it can be operated independently.
- Plug & Play, requiring only WITS & a gas sample
- Outputs include direct WITS output, local & online real time graphic monitors with digital LAS export files.
- Help with identifying faults & fractures
