Oil & Gas Applications

Oil and Gas - Cuttings, drill cores, and plugs, 3D mineralogy, 2D porosity and 3D permeability

Drill cuttings and core samples are analyzed using automated mineralogy solutions to provide quantitative lithotype and porosity characteristics of reservoir, seal and source rocks. The results enhance, validate, and complement seismic, wireline, and mud logs and provide quantitative input into geological models, thus reducing risk in exploration and production.

Drill cuttings, Cores, & Core Plugs

Oil & gas companies strive to reduce risk; exploration and production drilling is an expensive, high-risk business. One way to reduce risk is to collect more information from geological sequences and improve the geological model.

Core-to-Pore Petrography Workflow for Unconventional Reservoirs

Nanometer-scale porosity in unconventional gas shale core samples demands that the core-to-pore length scale be increased to 5 or 6 orders of magnitude. Large-scale, high-resolution images acquired with MAPS provide a framework for identifying areas of interest, and are a key part of our multiscale imaging workflow for unconventional core samples.

Improved Clay ID by QEMSCAN

With features only resolvable at the sub-micron scale, clay minerals possess subtle variations in chemical composition and can be easily confused with other clay minerals and silicates. As a result, clay typing requires special analytical techniques like those delivered by QEMSCAN.
