Hydrogeology & Geochemistry Services Brochure

Geochemistry and fluid flow services for the oil and gas industry are offered at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), including the following:

  • Characterization of past and future chemical environments and influence on permeability and hydrocarbon production, using geochemical simulation of:
    • Aqueous speciation
    • Mineral equilibria / disequilibria
  • Physical chemistry and thermodynamics of high ionic strength solutions (e.g., brines) under high-temperature conditions
  • Multiphase fluid flow calculations in geologically complex formations
