Geochemistry

Expert consultancy services for both conventional and unconventional exploration, reservoir and production geochemistry

Lab equipment

Geochemistry

Highlights

Source rock characterisation

Interpretation and integration of all data, from source rock screening (e.g., kerogen type, maturity) to isotopic & molecular data (e.g., palaeoenvironment, age)

Oil & gas geochemistry

Understanding fluid provenance, including fluid-source correlation, alteration, migration, maturity & source age

Exploration, reservoir & production geochemistry

From regional screening, to detailed reservoir geochemistry & production allocation, IGI can help utilise all geochemical data to better understand subsurface systems

Utilising Machine Learning tools

Powerful clustering, regression, classification, outlier detection & spatial interpolation of geochemical data

Integrated workflows

Geochemical interpretations can help ground-truth geological, reservoir & basin models

Top-down & Bottom-up approaches

Integrating sample data into regional context, depending on the scope of work, location & data availability

Molecule of the Month - Gammacerane

This unusual hopane-like compound is recognised together with the hopanes in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram and was for many years used as a biomarker of hypersalinity due to its common high abundance in sediments deposited under such conditions.   However, a key paper by Sinninghe-Damsté et al.

Why Geochemical Modelling CO2 Storage?

The geological storage of CO2 is a promising means to help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy transition stages (e. g. , Raza et al. , 2022).
