Baseline (USA) have announced the release of an upgrade package which allows for 30 second C1 to C5 measurement. Rapid analysis of C1 to C5 Hydrocarbons (Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butanes and Pentanes) is now available as a standard product offering in the PetroAlert Chromatograph family.  Upgrade kits are available for retrofit of the Series 8900 PetroAlert’s currently in the field.

Rapid Analysis of C1 to C5 is a very important part of the Mud / Well Logging process. It can help the Geologist monitoring the drill site to analyse both quantitatively and qualitatively the dynamics of the drill site. Faster information makes the process much more efficient.

PetroAlert is now widely used in the oil and gas exploration industry. Baseline offers a complete line of gas analysers including the Series 8900 Gas Chromatograph, Series 9000 Total Hydrocarbon Analyser and the Series 9100 Gas Chromatograph. Applications range from ambient air monitoring, fence-line monitoring, stack emissions, worker exposure to toxic gases and trace impurities in specialty, industrial and beverage gases.
