Organic Geochemistry

Organic geochemistry is a new scientific discipline, primarily used in the process of exploration for hydrocarbons. It enables the determination of rocks, evaluation of their generating potential, and efficiency of their expulsion and detection of migration principle. The historical characterization of reservoir hydrocarbons is achieved by geochemical analyses, correlation and by their transformation of hydrocarbons within accumulations. Application of organic geochemistry helps in identifying the composition of paraffin’s, and diamondoids in the crude and monitors their susceptibility to precipitate fouling agents within the reservoir and production stream can avert formation damage and the clogging of flow line and production equipment. However petroleum geochemistry offers rapid, low-cost evaluation tools to aid in understanding development and production problems.
