Gas sorption screening

This is done using thermovaporisation-gas chromatography (Tvap).

Deliverables

We supply:

The amount and composition of sorbed gas within source rocks quickly and inexpensively, thereby providing a practical tool for the rapid identification of “sweet spots” or heterogeneities within vertical profiles.

Samples (1g rock)

You provide:

High resolution sampling profiles through shales.

Components

• S2-normalised Tvap gas yields correlate with Langmuir amounts (nL)
• Tvap is an effective screening tool for defining the basic sorption characteristics of source rocks or gas shales.
• Adsorptive property profiling is possible for large data sets, enabling optimized sampling for standard Langmuir parameter determinations using classical methods.
