Webinar: Breathing new life into overlooked data- insights from wellsite gas evaluation using APTs Girasol software

This presentation will discuss what actually are wellsite gases and the key controls governing the amount and compositions recorded. We will discuss how the data can be normalised to account for variations in different drilling parameters, this minimises any drilling overprint and maximises the geological signal. Finally, we will discuss the importance of correcting for OBMs, this ensures accurate phase prediction which uses a bespoke set of GOR relationships leveraged from a large North Sea focused PVT database.

Lloyd holds an MSc in petroleum geochemistry from Newcastle University and is currently a geochemist and petroleum systems analyst at APT. He is currently the domain lead for wellsite gas evaluation within APT, utilising Girasol for both post-well and semi-real time studies.
