Chemical Stratigraphy

Chemical stratigraphy is a reservoir correlation tool involving the interpretation of inorganic geochemical data. Hierarchical zonations are developed using graphical and statistical techniques based on variations in key elements and ratios. Chemical stratigraphy can be utilised successfully on any stratigraphic interval from any geographic location and it has been effectively applied by Ichron on projects worldwide for many operating companies.
