Rock/fluid analysis facilities (DK6.1)

High-resolution-accurate-mass quadrupole-time-of-flight GC-MS. Used for structural elucidation (MS/MS), differential analysis and identification of key compounds in petroleum and reservoir fluids. Single quadrupole GC-MS. The instrument is used for routine applications such as targeted analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), saturated hydrocarbons distribution patterns and fingerprinting. Ultra-high resolution accurate-mass mass spectrometer. LC-MS used for determination of elemental compositions and targeted/untargeted analysis of polar compounds. ICP-OES and Ion chromatography for analysis of ions in water samples. 

DTU Offshore is part of DTU, which is a large technical university with a wide range of facilities available on campus. This includes DTU Nanolab which is a state of the art SEM and TEM facility and the DTU Imaging Centre for X-ray scanning.

The combined capabilities of the DTU Offshore analytical laboratories are unique in the scope of analyses relevant to subsurface research that can be carried out. One advantage to highlight is that core flooding facilities and analytical equipment for rock and fluid properties are located in the same facility.
