Abstract

In the exploration and exploitation of Unconventional reservoirs, advanced cuttings analysis at the wellsite is fast becoming one of the most important means of assessing each well that is drilled and delivers a greater understanding of overall quality of the resource play. By utilizing techniques and analytical measurements with a Source Rock Analyzer, X-ray Diffraction, and X-ray Florescence at the wellsite, we can accurately determine the desired target of the wellbore with near lab quality results. Each of these analytical processes delivers a unique data set that gives a near real time assessment of the optimal path of where we want to be in the formation (in the lateral).
