In "Crude Oil Analysis," we examine the physical properties (density, kinematic viscosity, pour point, and cloud point) and chemical properties (sulfur content, residual carbon content, wax content, component composition, etc.) of crude oil and gas condensate produced from geological layers thousands of meters underground. Additionally, the analysis data is utilized for identifying production layers, estimating the depositional environment and organic origin of source rocks, examining crude oil processing methods for quality control, conducting quality checks based on sales contracts, and analyzing reservoir fluid models. [Measurement, Testing, and Analysis] ■ Density Measurement ■ Kinematic Viscosity Measurement ■ Pour Point and Cloud Point Measurement ■ Sulfur Content Measurement ■ Distillation Test ■ Component Composition Analysis *For more details, please visit our company website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or feel free to contact us.

Source rock refers to the type of rock that can generate oil. Source rock is one element of the petroleum system, and without source rock, oil and gas fields cannot exist. The capacity of source rock is primarily evaluated based on three factors: the amount of organic matter, the type of organic matter, and the maturity level. Each of these is assessed using instruments such as elemental analyzers, Rock Eval analysis devices, and microscopes for measuring vitrinite reflectance, using samples collected from the surface or cuttings obtained from wells, and these evaluations serve as fundamental data for oil and gas exploration. [Evaluation and Analysis] ■ Evaluation of organic matter quantity (TOC analysis) ■ Evaluation of organic matter type (Rock Eval pyrolysis analysis) ■ Evaluation of maturity level (vitrinite reflectance measurement) ■ Analysis of activation energy distribution *For more details, please visit our company website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or feel free to contact us.

Our company utilizes geochemical analysis data obtained from gas composition analysis, carbon isotope analysis, and crude oil biomarker composition analysis to evaluate the formation environment, age, and maturity of the source rocks that generate oil and gas, assess the condition and continuity of reservoirs, and evaluate the migration and accumulation processes of oil and gas into reservoirs. In exploration evaluation, this contributes to increasing the success probability of exploratory drilling, and in reservoir management, it aids in efficient oil field development planning and avoiding production disruptions. [Analysis and Evaluation] ■ Gas Analysis (Composition and Isotope) ■ GC-MS Analysis of Crude Oil (Biomarker Analysis) ■ Evaluation of Depositional Environment, Age, and Maturity through Biomarkers ■ Reservoir Continuity Evaluation (Fingerprint Analysis) ■ Migration and Accumulation Evaluation *For more details, please visit our website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or refer to the PDF materials, or feel free to contact us.

At our company, in addition to the produced water from wells, we utilize various types of water such as spring water collected from surface surveys, geothermal water, wastewater from equipment used in mining, and river water collected for environmental research purposes to aid in reservoir evaluation and the resolution of operational issues. Samples are pre-treated according to the analysis items, followed by wet analysis or instrumental analysis. In cases where instrumental analysis is difficult or when immediate analysis results are needed, qualitative and quantitative analyses of components are conducted using the color of reagents or the amount of reagent dropped until a color change occurs. 【Features】 ■ Understand the condition of the reservoir to assist in reservoir development and production operations ■ Prevent operational troubles in advance and investigate causes when they occur ■ Aid in the exploration of new energy sources such as geothermal resources ■ Evaluate the impact of resource development on the environment *For more details, please visit our company website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or feel free to contact us.

At Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd., we make the most of various petrological techniques and apply them to the exploration and development of oil and geothermal resources. We offer a wide range of analyses, starting with "thin section observation (blue resin impregnation)," which should be the first step in rock mineral analysis, as well as "X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD)" and "fluid inclusion micro-thermometry." [Exploration and Evaluation Work] ■ Thin Section Observation (Blue Resin Impregnation) ■ X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) ■ X-ray Fluorescence Analysis (XRF) ■ Scanning Electron Microscopy (with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) ■ Fluid Inclusion Micro-Thermometry *For more details, please visit our website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or feel free to contact us.

"Microfossil analysis" is used to determine the age and stratigraphy of sedimentary layers, compare distant regions, and estimate depositional environments. By using multiple fossils, more detailed age estimates and comparisons can be made. Results can be obtained in some cases within a few hours from samples weighing just a few grams to 100 grams. Additionally, due to the rapid preprocessing and analysis, it can be utilized at drilling sites. 【Features】 ■ Analysis of foraminifera fossils, calcareous nanofossils, and diatom fossils ■ Determination of the age and stratigraphy of sedimentary layers ■ Comparison with distant regions and estimation of depositional environments ■ Rapid preprocessing and analysis ■ Greatly aids in estimating the distribution of oil and gas *For more details, please visit our website / Technical Services (https://www.japex.co.jp/technology/service.html) or feel free to contact us.
