Student Spotlight
At IGI we are proud to be able to support students in universities with free academic licenses of IGI’s geochemistry interpretation software. We caught up with Hernán de la Cal from La Plata, Argentina to find out how IGI’s software is helping him with his research.
Software: Where have the page artefacts gone?
Many of our software users will have noticed that the release of p:IGI+ V2. 3 saw the removal of the pre-made Analysis and Interpretation page artefacts.
Congratulations to all 24 companies
(including many IGI clients) who have been awarded license interests in the 2023 APA Round in Norway.
Molecule of the Month “Gx” (2,6,10-trimethyl-7-(3-methylbutyl)-dodecane)
Rarely noted in petroleum geochemistry, this C20 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkane usually co-elutes with (and is thus obscured by) the more common and usually more abundant pristane.

PVT Foundation Partnership
PVT data is essential for reservoir engineers to understand the properties and behaviour of oil and gas in the subsurface. It provides the necessary information on the reservoir fluids phase behaviour and composition needed for reservoir development and production planning.
User Group Summary
Unfortunately, as the sun set on the summer solstice on the beach at Westward Ho! we did not see a fabled green flash. However, there are several outcomes we can share with everyone!
First, we heard loud and clear, companies prefer fewer releases.
Molecule of the Month
2-Methylhopane - by Paul Farrimond
Hopanes are widely employed in petroleum geochemistry and have a near-ubiquitous occurrence in oils and source rocks, being derived
from bacteria.
