Reservoir analysis
Abstract
Abstract The inneity of mobile organic reservoir fluids, i.e., their origin or lack of origin in the particular source rocks associated with a reservoir formation, is determined by isolating these mobile organics from relatively immobile organics and inorganic carbonaceous matter and determining the relative concentrations of carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes therein, isolating the relatively immobile indigenous organic matter from the relatively mobile organics and inorganic carbonaceous matter and evaluating the relative magnitudes; i.e., concentrations, of the carbon-13 and carbon-12 isotopes of this material and establishing the correspondence or lack of correspondence between the ratios, differences or other relevant comparisons of the carbon-13 and carbon-12 isotopes of each respective material. Correspondence between these values for the mobile and immobile organic materials illustrates a high degree of probability that the relatively mobile organic matter has the same origin as the indigenous organic material and, therefore, is itself indigenous to the parent formation.
