The application of gas chromatography fingerprint technique to calculating oil production allocation of single layer in the commingled well.

Gas chromatography fingerprint technique has the advantages of fast performance and low cost. It can be used to conduct analysis without interruption either in the field or at laboratory. This technique has been used successfully in such cases that conventional production logging techniques are powerless. Taking low-concentration anthracene as internal standard, we calculated the absolute concentrations of fingerprints, initially made some experiments directly on biodegradation of crude oils, and calculated production allocation in the Gudong Oil field. Compared with the production logging, this method has made up for the deficiencies of the former GC fingerprint technique. It will find wide applications in monitoring the trend of production in various oil-fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
