DQ1000

The DQ1000™ wellsite mass spectrometer gas analyzer provides real-time, semiquantitative analysis of formation fluids in a portable, fully automatic package. It analyzes a broad range of petroleum species and other organic and inorganic compounds, enabling delineation of petroleum type, water saturation, fluid contacts, and seals with greater specificity than conventional instrumentation.

By correlating geochemical indicators with drilling parameters and lithologic data, operators gain real-time insight into hydrocarbon distribution, sweet spots in unconventional reservoirs, reservoir compartmentalization, and fluid contacts. The DQ1000 analyzer also supports identification of hydrocarbon zones and associated seals. During drilling, analytical results can be viewed on-screen locally or remotely and are readily available for immediate LAS import into commercially available graphics packages.
