What is DualFid Star for?
DualFid
DualFid Star
•Helps accurate identification of fluid contacts (Gas-Oil Contact, Oil-

Water contact ) while drilling
•Provides Formation fluid characterization while drilling
•Identifies formation testing points
•Supports LWD data or provides insurance data in case of LWD data

Conclusions
• Extraction and detection procedures are crucial for a proper gas analysis.
• Heavy gases analysis extends the high-resolution chromatography of DualFid.
• Measurement of heavy gases and analysis of their ratios improve Real-Time
formation evaluation.
• Heavy hydrocarbon components confirm and often better define fluid contacts
identified by light gases chromatography.
• Identification and characterization of formation fluids is possible thanks to a
full advanced gas detection system.
• Formation fluid signatures are defined more accurately.
Track record: since 2009 more than 100 wells in 4 continents: ENI, Total,
Chevron, KOC, Wintershall, Maersk, OMV/Petrom, Cepsa, Repsol, etc…
