Production Allocation Module

OilUnmixer™ software utilizes a new method to determine production allocation, both for multiple zones contributing to a single well, and for multiple wells contributing to a single pipeline.

OilUnmixer™ utilizes advanced methods for:

• Dealing with analytical uncertainty
  
  
• Assessing the validity of end member (zone specific) calibration samples
  
  
• Finding and mathematically removing contamination in the end members or commingled oils
  
  
• “Testing” the validity of the allocation results (in a graphical, easy to understand form)
  
  
  

Advantages include:

• Low Cost - Geochemical techniques for allocating commingled production from multiple zones typically result in a >90% cost savings relative to production logging
  
  
• Detection of zone performance problems at any point during the life of a well
  
  
• Applicability to vertical, deviated and horizontal wells
  
  
• Applicability to pumping wells
  
  
• Ability to quantify uncertainty: Geochemical techniques provide multiple, independent solutions to the allocation problem
  
  
• No risk of sticking a logging tool—Analysis of producted oil only.
  
  
• Ability to allocate in the absence or prescence of flow meter data
