Abstract:

The variation of isotopic properties of gas within a continuous reservoir is generally small but can be significant between fault blocks of one reservoir or between unconnected but closely stacked reservoirs.Thus isotopic analysis of gas could be used to identify the continuity of reservoir,define faults and derive more accurately reservoir description.The isotopic analyses in commingled production could be used to allocate contributions of individual sands and distinguish underlying oil reservoirs.
