OilTracers LLC exhibited at the 2nd North African/Mediterranean
Petroleum & Geosciences Conference and Exhibition, April 10th
to 13th 2005 in Algiers, Algeria. A key element of the Exhibit was
OilTracers demonstration of the latest version (v. 3.0f) of the
OilUnmixer TM software that OilTracers has developed for performing
geochemical allocation of commingled production. The latest version
of OilUnmixer TM includes features such as:
- The ability to allocate production with or without the use of
end members calibration oils.
- The ability to "visualize" the quality of the calculated
allocation result by viewing a graphical comparison of a
mathematical construct of the predicted oil vs the actual observed
oil.
- A numerical measure of "quality of fit" of the predicted
allocation solution to the observed oil.
- A statistical "% Confidence" number associated with the
allocation solution.
- The ability to automatically "look" for contamination in the
end member calibration oils (based on automatically searching for
peaks that lie statistically too far away from the allocation
solution implied by the overall oil fingerprint), and then
automatically deleting those contamination peaks, and then
automatically iterating a solution until it converges on a stable
answer. This ability to use "non ideal" end members is particularly
useful.
OilTracers LLC will next be exhibiting June 19-22 at the AAPG
Annual Convention in Calgary, Canada. We invite you to stop by our
booth and meet the OilTracers scientists.
About OilTracers LLC
OilTracers LLC is a petroleum consulting company that
specializes in integration of geochemical, geological, and
engineering data to solve various petroleum exploration,
development, and production problems. In addition, OilTracers LLC
owns and operates the two premier petroleum geochemistry web sites
(www.oiltracers.com and www.gaschem.com) The databases on these web
sites, such as OilRef (a database of >14,000 petroleum
geochemistry citations), the Oil Sample Library (a listing of
>33,500 oil geological samples owned by various laboratories),
and the Petroleum Geochemistry Dictionary provide answers to more
than 5,000 inquiries a month. OilTracers LLC is organized very much
like a law firm, with our various scientists having complementary
areas of expertise. OilTracers LLC is not a laboratory. We do no
analyses. We only interpret data. All oil analyses are contracted
to one of several laboratories we use around the world. These
laboratories then transfer the data electronically to OilTracers
for interpretation.
