• Migration pathway
• Timing and charge
• Evaluation of reservoir compartmentalization
• Hydrocarbon charge history and production allocation Determining the variation in and possible sourcing of reservoir fluids
• Estimating the produced water and bitumen
• Seeps data and source rock analyses
• Gas evaluation - source of gas, nature of gas (thermogenic vs. biogenic) in PVT

1. Reservoir rocks’ total Extractable Organic Material (EOM)
2. Separation of the EOM into group types (for example saturates, aromatics, NSO (Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur)/Polar components and asphaltenes)
3. Gas Chromatography (GC)
4. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)
5. Gas Chromatography-MS-MS and isotope analyses
6. Source rocks’ Total Organic Carbon content (TOC)
7. Hydrocarbon generation potential and maturity
8. Samples preparation prior to analysis by washing, lithology description/picking (As contamination by oil/drilling mud additives might necessitates pre-extraction)
9. Hydrocarbon fluids characterisation to analyse original source (oil-source correlations), maturation level, alteration (biodegradation, waterwashing, evaporative fractionation), oil/gas populations (oil-oil, gas-gas and gas-oil correlations)
10. Gas composition and isotope analyses
• Interpretation
• Standalone reporting
