Turning petrography into basin-scale insights

Detailed thin section analysis to evaluate mineralogy, texture, and diagenetic processes, with direct application to reservoir characterization, subsurface interpretation, and environmental studies.

Capabilities include:

• Qualitative and quantitative thin section description
• Photomicrographic documentation 
• Diagenetic analysis and interpretation 
• Reservoir quality assessment (porosity, permeability controls) 
• Integration with petrophysical, core, and well log data 
• Training in sedimentary petrography

Value:
Specialized expertise that is often not available in-house, providing critical insight into subsurface systems and material properties.

Interpretation of sedimentary systems to understand facies distribution, depositional environments, and controls on reservoir and seal characteristics.

Capabilities include:

• Textural and compositional analysis 
• Facies analysis and stratigraphic context
• Depositional environment interpretation 
• Reservoir and seal characterization (including CCS and aquifers) 
• Integration with subsurface datasets

Evaluation of geologic controls on groundwater systems and contaminant distribution.

Capabilities include:

• Assessment of naturally occurring contaminants (e.g., uranium, radon)
• Mapping of water contaminants
• Groundwater system interpretation 
• Domestic well risk evaluation
• Integration of geologic and environmental data
• Analysis of environmental factors in public health
• Support for environmental assessments and reporting 

Detailed description and interpretation of core and cuttings to support subsurface evaluation and project workflows.

Capabilities include:

• Core and cuttings description (siliciclastic and carbonate systems) 
• Identification of lithologic variability and key intervals 
• Integration with petrographic, petrophysical, and well log data
• Support for subsurface interpretation and reporting

Integration of multiple datasets to develop clear, defensible subsurface interpretations. Energy transition support.

Capabilities include:
