Wordmark GFZ Potsdam

The GFZ-Industry Partnership Programme (IPP)

Our IPP is now well into its fifth year and continues to grow and flourish. New participants are always welcome. Check our ongoing projects for a flavor of our industry funded research programme.

Service
We apply published results of our research and offer access to our expertise through GeoS4 GmbH, a private service company, founded under the auspices of EEF-II, a HGF/GFZ initiative.

BioPetS Flux

Present day lateral and vertical heterogeneity of oil composition in petroleum reservoirs is characterized using polar compounds and stable isotopes while the original charge is reconstructed using petroleum asphaltenes. 



High Temperature Methane

We examine source rocks stemming from all different depositional environments to evaluate which kerogens develop a late gas potential in the course of their maturation and to define the kinetics of primary and secondary gas generation.

Predicting petroleum phase and composition

    


Biogenic Methane Potential

BioMeP will work out numerical models to retrace diagenetic pathways leading to methane formation. It is the final aim of BioMeP to numerically predict a bacterial methane potential in selected basin areas. 



Predicting Petroleum Quality

The Project aims at developing compositional models for the prediction of petroleum quality ahead of drilling. Here we use pyrolysis techniques for the analysis of source rocks and petroleum sytsem modelling for the integration of results. Project partners include Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Devon, Petrobras und StatoilHydro.
