Advancing technology has enabled the oil and gas Industry to analyze and track constituents in fluid samples. However, without proper sampling, proper laboratory procedures, and the correct interpretation of such analyses, this data could be erroneous and could result in costly and unnecessary actions.
Through proper analytical sampling, testing and understanding of these results operators can monitor and optimize chemical applications.
This paper discusses:
• Common analytical testing performed within the oil and gas production
chemical industry.
• Identification of critical hold-points within these procedures.
• Common general rules for the identification of possible anomalies during
such analyses.
• How these tests can be applied to assist optimization of chemical
applications.
