Beyond the Elements XRD Mineralogy & XRF Analysis for Advanced Mud Logging

October 29, 2014 - Join Jose Brum, field sales engineer from Olympus and special guest Dawn Snyder, geologist from Diversified Well Logging, for this 45 minute web presentation to discuss the latest technology in X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for mud logging.

Learn how XRD and XRF analyzers help maximize the efficiency of drilling operations by quickly finding commercially viable target zones for better production and improved ROI. Understand rock type indicating oil and gas bearing zones and identify mineralogical trends to keep the drill in the shale pay zone with real-time XRD and XRF analysis. On-site analysis provides faster results and reduces costs from sending fewer samples to the outside lab. We will review techniques for on-site analysis to make informed geo-steering decisions.
