HAWK-PAM
HAWK-PAM - Petroleum Assessment Method
HAWK-PAM is a modified pyrolysis method developed by Wildcat Technologies to breakdown the oil yield (typically seen in S1) to carbon numbers and capture all the oil yield before measuring kerogen. For HAWK-PAM, a ramp rate of 25°C is utilized to generate 5 petroleum peaks - four on oil fractions and one on kerogen. These groupings correspond to carbon numbers (C4 through C37+).
Applications
-
Reservoir rocks characterization
-
Oil saturation determination
-
Fluid saturation discrimination from sorbed oil
-
Identification of sweet spots and pertinent frackable zones for landing laterals
Features
-
More accurate Oil yield which is broken into 4 different categories (Oil-1 through 4)
-
More accurate S2 peak because there is no volatilizable oil carryover
-
More accurate Tmax
-
Ability to run API Gravity prediction on rock
-
Utilize interpretation using our Shale Prospectivity Tool

Advantages of HAWK-PAM method
-
Estimate Producible Oil in Place
-
Determine Fluid Saturation (Mobile oil)
-
Determine Sorbed oil (Immobile oil)
-
Identify the petroleum fractions of your oil (carbon number designation)
-
Predict API Gravity from drill cuttings and cores
