We can assist you in optimizing the use of organic geochemistry data in solving your exploration challenges. Our experience spans projects ranging from API gravity prediction for new ventures, to helping map CO2 risk in Southeast-Asian gas prospects. We work closely with our partner labs for analyses of source-rocks and have led Joint Industrial Projects for understanding petroleum systems through source-rock isotope calibrations. We do turnkey data analysis and reporting, or can help you become self-sufficent through workshops and training courses. Email us to learn more...
We can assist you in making the right production decisions using organic geochemistry data. Our experience spans projects ranging from determining reservoir continuity in complex systems of offset wells, to using carbon isotope data for non-intrusive geochemical production allocation. With our partners, we can offer comprehensive service and software solutions for fully utilizing mudgas data in your production workflows. We do turnkey data intepretation and reporting, or can help you become self-sufficent through workshops and training courses. Email us to learn more...
We are, together with Isotech Laboratories, pioneers in applying high-precision carbon isotope data to challenging problems in ownership disputes that can arise during gas-storage operations in proximity to active exploration. We have experience in expert-witness work and are familiar with the processes and procedures required to support litigation. Through our CO2 risk-assessment work together with our partner Dr. Larry Cathles of Cornell, we have access to sophisticated CO2 migration modeling tools that can be leveraged in CO2 sequestration studies.

We can apply unique expertise in gas isotope geochemistry to help address some of the key challenges during production of tight shale and tight sand gas reservoirs. We have developed and can apply innovative software and interpretive solutions to frac optimization through frac backflow allocation which can help prevent frac placement in unproductive zones. We can also monitor production data for early recognition of changes of frac backflow contributions. We can apply models that allow recognition of lateral communication in multi-well patterns that are common in these resource plays. Email us to learn more...
Consulting
We have unique multi-year expertise on interpreting geochemical data, in particular gas isotope data for oil and gas exploration and production applications. One of our key strenghts is executing and coordinating large interdisciplinary projects and conducting Multi Client Studies for Quantitative Petroleum System Assessment. This experience, combined with our gas data bases and our in-house interpretive tools enables us to provide expert consulting and advisory services to our clients. We also utilize our Network of Experts for the execution of gas and oil exploration and production-related projects.
Data Sets, Reports, Multi Ciient Study Proposals
We offer a number of different reports and data sets for sale. We have designed and are actively offering new Multi-Client Study proposals for new areas and client needs.
Training
We provide a variety of training services, ranging from introductory workshops on isotope applications in exploration and production to detailed lectures and training sessions on application-specific topics. We have ready-made materials or can customize training materials to your needs.
Barents Sea
We have started a non-exclusive Multi-Client Study (MCS) in which we conduct a combination of laboratory-based analyses that simulate the gas and oil formation process for Permian, Middle Triassic (Steinkobbe and Botneheia), U. Jurassic Hekkingen source rocks that will enable participants to predict economically critical information such as:- oil properties (API gravity and viscosity)
- determine active source rocks using gas isotopes
The study results will be available by end of July 2012 in time for the use in the 22nd APA round in November 2012.
GasConsult International was founded in 2001 by Dr. Martin Schoell, an internationally known geologist and geochemist upon his departure from Chevron and after a 30 year career in government research and the oil industry. Much of his time has been dedicated to discovering and further understanding how stable isotopes in natural gases are the key to recognizing the origin of gases and their relationships to geological conditions of their formation.
With this expertise, Gasconsult continues to innovate in interpretation of gas composition and isotope data. Some of the techniques and concepts developed by us are now industry standard.
We have long-standing history of working with partners to further develop new techniques for the use of gas isotopes for quantitative production allocation and predictions of specific gas sources and their gas and fluid potential.
