PVT Analysis
Maximize Reservoir Performance with GeoMark’s PVT and Geochemical Analysis
PVT analysis is more than just measuring shrinkage and GOR; it’s about transforming fluid samples into strategic insight. With cutting-edge PVT laboratories and decades of experience, GeoMark helps operators unravel the full story of their fluids, from source to sale.

From PVT to Geochemistry: A Complete Picture
GeoMark is unique in combining traditional PVT with advanced geochemical fingerprinting techniques:
-
Isotopes, Biomarkers, Molecular Ratios: Applied directly to PVT samples to trace thermal maturity, migration history, and zone contributions.
-
Production Allocation: In stacked or commingled reservoirs, PVT + geochemistry resolve which zones are truly contributing—reducing uncertainty in reserves booking and regulatory compliance.
-
Reservoir Connectivity: Go beyond pressure and GOR. Molecular signatures reveal subtle compartmentalization or connectivity even where PVT looks identical.
Why This Matters
-
Better EOS Models: Full compositional data, matched separator conditions, and multi-phase testing result in accurate forecasts—not approximations.
-
Improved Decision-Making: Whether you're evaluating legacy assets or planning new developments, integrating geochemical and PVT data helps you:
-
Detect compositional gradients
-
Confirm fluid continuity
-
Validate historical data for modern use
-
-
Maximized Sampling ROI: Apply advanced analyses to the same samples already collected—no extra downhole work required.
