Compositional analysis generally refers to the measurement of the distribution of hydrocarbons and other components present in oil and gas samples. Using modern chromatography techniques samples are analyzed to determine the breakdown of the components in the sample. The analysis can be used to determine the value of a sales gas, it can be calculated to determine emissions. Compositional analysis can be used to assess the quality of samples, it can also help determine resevoir continuty and investigate leakage.
