Lecture on Chemometric Assessment of Petroleum Systems and Paleoclimate Using Crude Oil Biomarker and Isotope Data from The Santa Maria Basin, California

ALAGO Webinar - Petroleum Systems with Kenneth PetersALAGO Webinars – New Trends on Organic Geochemistry

The work showcases the power of chemometrics to distinguish oil families and presents explanations for those families based on paleoclimatic changes during deposition of the Miocene source rock in the Santa Maria Basin applying both molecular biomarker distributions and isotope data.

Deconvoluting Mixed Petroleum and the Effect of Oil and Gas-Condensate Mixes on Identifying Petroleum Systems – AAPG ACE 2020

Virtual talk at AAPG ACE 2020

Watch recent virtual talk by Ken Peters at AAPG ACE on using Pirouette’s unmixing algorithm for evaluating oil production.

 

 

Two points made in the talk are:

  • You cannot use ratios as the input variables and need to use concentrations instead.
  • The alternating least squares algorithm performs well to untangle mixed sources accurately.

Last call. Upgrade Pirouette before July 1, 2020

Hello fellow Pirouette users.

If you are still using a legacy version of Pirouette, on July 1st the price to upgrade to the current version of Pirouette, version 4.5, will no longer be available. The cost will be the full retail price of Pirouette v4.5. Older versions (e.g., Pirouette 4.0) were designed and implemented for older Windows environments and have become less compatible with current Windows operating systems. If you are still using an older system that has not been upgraded to Windows 10, products like Pirouette 4.0 may still work. However, we are no longer fixing bugs or implementing enhancements. If you have an older version, we recommend you take advantage of the current upgrade rate before it goes to full price.
