Chrysaor contracts APT for geochemical, petroleum systems analyses

Chrysaor North Sea Ltd. has contracted Applied Petroleum Technology (APT) to deliver various geochemical and petroleum systems analyses in connection with the operator’s Armada hub facility and exploration around the Greater Lomond area on the UK continental shelf.

APT will carry out a range of studies in producing and exploration assets. At the Armada Hub facility, a scoping and feasibility study for the use of geochemical production allocation is underway. In the same asset, APT is conducting a geochemical analysis of recently drilled well where a potentially new reservoir system is under evaluation. APT is also carrying out integrated petroleum system analysis and basin modelling to support Chrysaor’s assessment of the exploration potential in the Central North Sea.

APT’s UK operation will manage the project. Geochemical analyses will be conducted from the company’s laboratory in Conwy, Wales. A contract value was not disclosed.
