StratoChem Services was established in 1989 to provide geochemical services to the petroleum industry in Egypt and the Middle East. At present, there are eighteen full time employees, including ten Geologists/Geochemists, three Lab Technicians, three Administration Staff, and two Assisting Staff. Our laboratory in Cairo is equipped to perform a wide range of analyses, including gas compositional analysis, total organic carbon (TOC) determination, Rock Eval pyrolysis, liquid chromatography, detailed C4-C7 gas chromatography and gas chromatography for whole oil or saturate fractions. Further details of the analyses we provide can be found elsewhere on this site.

Advanced analyses are performed at Baseline Resolution, Inc. in Houston, Texas, U. S. A. Baseline Resolution, Inc. and StratoChem Services are now working together to provide petroleum analytical services for Africa and the Middle East. Together we are dedicated to providing the best quality geochemical data available. We have the expertise and industry experience to provide clients with comprehensive, cost effective, analytical and interpretive services for exploration and production programs. As industry leaders we have the capability to provide specialty analyses such as Isotope Analyses, High Resolution Mass Spectroscopy, Diamondoid Analyses, API Gravity using Rock Eval 6 and processes for the removal of Olefin-Based drilling muds.

StratoChem Services is also the representative of Platte River Associates "BasinMod" Software and Geotrack International Pty Ltd in North Africa and the Middle East. We also represent WL Gore in Egypt.
The company offers a full line of analytical, interpretive and basin modelling services in petroleum geochemistry. StratoChem Services is also dedicated to the utilization of analytical automation and computer application in the field of Geology and Geochemistry.

The inclusion of geochemical data into geological studies can provide important information on the distribution and effectiveness of oil and gas source beds, the time of petroleum generation and migration, and the quantity and type of hydrocarbons likely to be present. Geochemical data can also be used to determine depositional environments, tectonic and sedimentary history and is essential in quantitative basin modelling. Surface geochemical studies reveal whether there is a good or poor chance of finding oil or gas at depth. Production geochemistry can help guide oil field development and enhanced recovery projects.
