PetroStrat Adds Geochemistry as Part of Its Geoscience Services

06/08/2025

PetroStrat is pleased to announce we are now offering Geochemistry, as part of our world-leading integrated geoscience services. This exciting new capability is delivered by a highly experienced team who joined PetroStrat through the acquisition of CGG-Viridien’s Geology Group. They bring decades of geochemical knowledge, now fully integrated into our service packages for both traditional energy applications, as well as unconventionals and energy transition sectors. This enhances our ability to support subsurface evaluation, reducing uncertainty across exploration and development projects.

Whether evaluating routine source rock potential and maturity, analysing the composition of crude oil, gas or water, investigating reservoir geochemistry or conducting environmental assessments, PetroStrat now deliver this service.

How Geochemical Analysis Can Support Your Subsurface Project

Geochemical analyses provide a fundamental dataset for understanding the processes controlling the formation, migration, accumulation and alteration of hydrocarbons. By providing an overview of these processes, geochemistry is a powerful tool for reducing exploratory risks, improving production strategies and supporting efficient subsurface projects.  By combining geochemical and geological data, PetroStrat deliver consistent and calibrated geoscience data across entire fields or plays.

  • Geochemical analysis supports the identification of potential source rocks and active petroleum systems. at different scales   
  • Detailed geochemical inversion of migrated hydrocarbons (seeps and stains) to support the identification of potential source rocks where no other data is available
  • Integration of optical, geochemical and geological methods to estimate thermal maturity and reduce uncertainties in thermal models
  • Reservoir geochemistry to determine the presence of compartmentalisation, Tar Mats and Gravity segregation (among other processes)
  • Establishing oil/gas families and providing source rocks-fluids correlation

Key capabilities of our new Geochemistry team

PetroStrat's state-of-the-art Geochemistry Lab combines high-precision analytical services with cutting edge technology, to provide a comprehensive range of services to assess the thermal maturity, composition, and hydrocarbon potential of organic matter.
