Reservoir geochemistry

Reservoir geochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of reservoir rocks and fluid in the reservoir. The reservoir fluid can be either water, oil, or gas. Their chemical analysis and study of their interactions with the reservoir rock and the surrounding formation provide valuable information. Reservoir geochemistry helps understand reservoir fluid's origin, migration, and accumulation. It also aids in evaluating reservoir quality, compartmentalization, and potential productivity of a reservoir.
