Wintershall Dea hires Applied Petroleum for geochemical analyses

German oil and gas company Wintershall Dea has awarded a global frame agreement to Applied Petroleum Technology (APT) for the supply of geochemical analyses for the company’s E&P efforts around the world.


APT said on Wednesday that it would provide geochemical analyses including consultancy services to deliver interpretation of drilling samples and other reservoir data.

According to the company, the frame agreement with Wintershal Dea is valid for three years.

Helge Nyrønning, CEO of APT, said: “We have supported Wintershall and Dea extensively in the past, including on the Norwegian Continental Shelf as well as onshore in Germany. This frame agreement allows us to support Wintershall Dea on all fields globally, which we are prepared for.”

The company added that APT’s laboratory in Oslo could offer the oil and gas market’s shortest delivery time for geochemical analyses.

Geir Hansen, APT’s head of petroleum geochemistry, added: “The analyses we perform are designed to support Wintershall Dea’s in-house geology teams that are either working to find new hydrocarbons or to maximize production from existing assets. Our job is to provide high-quality geochemical data, and we will do so in a way that is tailored to Wintershall Dea’s specific requirements.”
