Reservoir geochemistry can be used to help address questions including:

 

      Is there a relationship between stacked reservoirs in a single well, or a relationship between reservoirs from different wells?

       

      Are a series of reservoirs in communication or do barriers exist between them?

       

      Can the production from a number of reservoirs be tracked and allocated?

       

      Is there a problem with leakage of underground piping?
