Introducing Mudlogging with a Benchtop XRF

In the realm of prospecting and developing oil and gas fields, mud logging stands as a pivotal technique to comprehend geological conditions. Mud logging involves creating a detailed well log, and analyzing rock cuttings brought to the surface during drilling to understand the geologic formations in the borehole.

Mud logging plays a crucial role in optimizing drilling processes, increasing development efficiency, and informing decisions related to oil and gas fields. To enhance this process,  portable XRF (pXRF), for on-site analysis becomes imperative.

Why XRF Technology for Mudlogging:

Portable XRF analysis provides qualitative and quantitative information about the chemical elements in rock cuttings. It aids in geological prospecting and mud logging by offering real-time insights into the elements present and identifying lithological characters through element associations.

Benefits of Renting a Benchtop XRF for Mudlogging:

  1. On-Site Real-Time Analysis:

    • Perform on-site analysis and testing with immediate measurement results, optimizing the drilling direction in real-time.
  2. Easy Sample Prep:

    • Simplify sample preparation with fewer requirements for the samples, allowing for swift and efficient analysis.
  3. Shortened Analysis Time:

    • Accelerate the analysis process with quick chemical test results, enabling timely decision-making.
  4. Low Cost of Ownership:

    • Opt for a cost-effective solution with minimal calibration and maintenance requirements, reducing ownership costs.

Challenges Addressed by Handheld XRF:

In mud logging applications, especially with fragmented rock chip samples from modern drilling techniques, traditional lab analyses face challenges. The need to bring samples off-site for analysis can be cumbersome. Here, portable XRF analyzers offer a solution, providing reliable results in the field without complicated sample prep.

Optimize your mudlogging endeavors with the efficiency and flexibility of Benchtop XRF technology. Purchase, lease or rent a Benchtop XRF for mudlogging and unlock the benefits of on-site real-time analysis, simplified sample preparation, shortened analysis time, and a cost-effective ownership model.
