The SRA can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of the customer. For example, the basic SRA unit (i.e. the SRA-TPH™) provides S1, S2, Tmax, and Tmin. The SRA-TPH/S3™ unit also provides S3 while the SRA-TPH/TOC™ unit provides S3 and TOC as well. Additional configurations include the SRA-Kinetics™, the SRA POPI™, and the SRA-TEPI™.
SRA-POPI™: This SRA configuration is an instrument software configuration developed by Weatherford Laboratories Instruments and Saudi Aramco to make well-site, or near well-site, predictions regarding fluid properties such as API gravity, viscosity, apparent water saturation and bulk composition (i.e. black oil, or tar, condensate) from cuttings, sidewall cores (SWCs), or conventional core samples.
SRA-Kinetics™: When evaluating a play or prospect using basin modeling, the conversion of kerogen into gas and petroleum is dependent on the composition of the kerogen.
SRA-TEPI™: This instrument configuration entails an SRA connected to a Gas Chromatograph (GC). Thus, the SRA is used to volatilize the hydrocarbons from a reservoir or source rock.
SRA-TPH/TOC™: The SR Analyzer TPH/TOC™ performs automated analysis of source rocks and reservoir rocks to evaluate organic richness, kerogen quality, thermal maturity, and organic facies. The instrument generates S1, S2, S3, Tmax, and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) data.
