FEI Natural Resources Solutions

Across the globe, natural resource companies, service providers, and research organizations are using specialized automated mineralogy solutions to image and quantify features that are of commercial interest to exploration, extraction, and processing of natural resources in the mining and energy sectors (minerals, coal, oil & gas). Developed and produced by FEI, a global leader in electron- and ion-beam microscopy, our two automated mineralogy flagship products, QEMSCAN and MLA, are essential technologies for geologists, mineralogists, and metallurgists involved in the characterization of minerals, rocks, and man-made materials, bridging meter to nanometer scales.

Natural Resources Applications

Mining

Automated mineral analysis of metal-bearing ore provides quantitative information on size and shape of particles and grains; particle mineralogy; degree of liberation; and mineral association. Read More »

Oil & Gas

Drill cuttings and core samples are analyzed using automated mineralogy solutions to provide quantitative lithotype and porosity characteristics of reservoir, seal, and source rocks. Read More »
