Early insight into fluid contents—and reservoir potential

The reservoir is both the rock and the fluids it contains. At both the wellsite and in the laboratory, Fluid Inclusion Technology (FIT), a Schlumberger company, provides specialized analysis of the trapped fluids in rock material, with a focus on determining the origin and geological history of the rocks and fluids.

Real-time laboratory-grade mass spectroscopy at the wellsite

The portable, fully automatic DQ1000 wellsite mass spectrometer gas analyzer gives you semiquantitative formation fluid analysis and evaluation while drilling.

Direct quadrupole mass spectrometry is continuously applied to borehole gas at surface to

• comprehensively spectral fingerprint C₁–C₅ and C₆–C₁₀ hydrocarbons
• identify three major volatile organic species classes: alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics
• monitor chemical species with variable solubility in water, such as benzene, toluene, n-hexane, and cyclohexane.

Combining these measurements with ROP, pumpstrokes, and depth derives the lagdepth for geochemical logs.
