The purpose of this Fluid Properties project is to measure, tabulate, and understand general pore fluid properties for geophysical applications.
Direct hydrocarbon indicators and reservoir monitoring, or time-lapse seismology (4-D) are becoming increasingly important in geophysics. Identification of specific fluids or fluid locations is usually the goal. However, not only do the fluid types differ, but also phase changes occur even in constant composition systems. Phase changes, for example changing from a single super-critical fluid to an oil-gas mixture, may produce a strong seismic signature. We must know enough about the changing conditions to plan the acquisition and correctly interpret the results.
