oa Fluid Inclusion Volatile Studies in Iraq: Implications for Prospect-Scale Migration Pathways and Seal

We are analyzing fluid-inclusion volatiles (FIV) in samples from wells across Iraq that span from the Miocene to the Ordovician. Oil stains and bitumen in cuttings and cores are evidence of oil migration through the rock column. However, FIV data provide more quantitative and detailed information about seal competency, migration timing and pathways, and hydrocarbon compositions.
