Syntillica offers expertise in petroleum geochemistry, which is the application of chemical principles to the study of origin, migration, accumulation, and alteration of petroleum. It utilises geochemical and geological information to evaluate exploration or development petroleum charge and phase, production volumes and rates, and development flow assurance issues.
By using this science it can improve exploration and production efficiency. It accounts for many of the variables that control the volumes of crude oil and natural gas available for entrapment, including source-rock distribution, richness and quality, thermal maturity, and the timing of generation-migration-accumulation relative to trap formation.
Syntillica’s petroleum geochemists are fundamental in realising exploration targets and risks and can provide a fast and low-cost evaluation to aid the understanding of development and production issues and flow assurance .
