Abstract
Direct quadrupole mass spectrometry (DQMS) applied to analysis of borehole gas while drilling provides insight into petroleum systems, and can be used for reservoir characterization. The technique has been applied to a number of wells worldwide over the last few years, including conventional and unconventional reservoirs in the Middle East. Theory, practice, application and examples will be discussed.
