METHODS FOR DETECTING AND MAPPING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN RESERVOIR ROCKS AND THE USE THEREOF
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting and mapping the spatial distribution of organic compounds aiming to understand how such organic compounds are distributed on the surfaces of reservoir rocks subjected to injection fluids for oil recovery purposes. The DESI and LAESI techniques may be used in the analysis of rocks from trials of oil recovery in small or large scale. Furthermore, both techniques may be applied in the analysis of compounds present on the surfaces of minerals from aquatic environments.
