Why are these important to you?

Precise Answers for Completions

Information:• Locations to land Horizontally in

Production Zones• Brittleness to develop more efficient

Fracturing Plans• Determine possible Fluid Sensitive

minerals• Peace of mind knowing where you

are in the well bore

Pseudo Science vs Real Science•Providing reproducible data• Standard Operating Procedures for every step

•Sample Preparation• Using state of the art techniques• Prevents the over crushing of carbonates• Homogenized samples allow for accurate analysis• Eliminates human error

•Personnel• Professionally trained• Years of experience• Passionate about the geosciences

Performance MattersGEOSCIENCE DIVISION

•Produces an average of 60 XRD sample per day ($15k worth of data per day)

•Program Pyrolysis is completed 3 times faster without sacrificing the data

•Standards are used at a regular interval to ensure the highest quality of data

•Degreed professionals with years of experience

CONVENTIONAL LAB

•Samples could take up to 4 weeks or longer to complete

•Use of antiquated technology to produce results that can be affected by barometric changes

•Use of standards are only applied to certain instruments for a limited amount of time

•Who knows who is handling your samples

Providing SolutionsEXPLORATION

•Complete understanding of the entire well that a core cannot produce

•Identify important geological features in new lease areas

•Locate the best zones for production while choosing the right drilling fluid

•Historical data can be used with current drilling operations to provide a comprehensive understanding of leases

PRODUCTION

•Define entire organic zones to optimize production

•Brittleness zones outlined for efficient hydraulic fracture planning

•Well bore placement in horizontals

•Determining areas of better production in leases

ReservoirsConventional

Identification of core point and total depth in vertical wellsDetect faults in the presence of sand to sand or clay to clay contacts

UnconventionalHeterogeneity can be difficult to find sweet spotsCan streamline projects by providing critical answers for completions

High Temp/High PressureAble to go where no other tools can due to extreme conditionsProvides real time reservoir information

Carbonate Low gamma responses can be difficult for steering Able to determine mineralogy changes Elemental data can provide more detailed changes in trace elements such as Sr, Rb, Y, Nb, and Th

Anticipation vs Reality•Going into a well program we have a basic understanding of the geology and the reservoirs/source rock locations.

•Reality is that geology can change in very short distance that can drastically alter how the well is landed horizontally and completed.

•In the examples to follow we evaluated the well with all three instruments.

•We mapped the well bore elementally and provided free oil and organics after locating the zones of most interest.

•All interpretations were done at near real time during the drilling procedures to ensure the fastest evaluation for possible drilling corrections.

Anticipation •Area classified as “Wildcat”

•Client anticipated pay zone in general area that was near previous wells.

•Landing point was predetermined before drilling due to expected lithology.

Reality•Main reservoir was located 110’ below the anticipated depth.

•A larger section of free oil was obtainable with a new landing point.

•Client tapped into both outlined reservoirs and was able to save the well from low IP.

•4 potential pay zones were located for production and future development planning.

•Migrated oil was also located while drilling the curve that was not reflected in the pilot hole analysis.
