A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION USING PHOTOACOUSTIC SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

A method and apparatus (300) are provided that asses reservoir compartmentalization by determining whether there are composition differences such as whether the isotopic ratios of carbon (13C/12C) or of oxygen (170/180) are the same or different in various par of the reservoir. A quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectrometer is provided for analysis of reservoir samples taken in various parts the reservoir for comparison of geochemical composition to estimate reservoir compartmentalization.
