METHOD OF RANKING GEOMARKERS AND COMPOSITIONAL ALLOCATION OF WELLBORE EFFLUENTS

摘要

A method of method of determining relative contributions of two or more producing subterranean sources to a total flow is described using the steps of selecting a subset from a set of identifiable components in the total flow and using the subset to determine the relative contributions of two or more producing subterranean sources, wherein the subset is selected based on the sensitivity of the determination step to errors in the measurement of concentrations of said identifiable components.
