The integration of petrography with sedimentological data greatly aids reservoir characterisation and prediction. Firmground offers its clients detailed characterisation, quantification and models for diagenesis through the use of thin-sections descriptions, point counting, as well as SEM petrography. The results are integrated with sedimentological information gained from the core to produce detailed paragenetic schemes.
- Thin section descriptions
- Modal analysis (200, 300 point)
- Paragenesis
- SEM and BSEM analysis
Firmground also liaises with other specialised analytical groups for analyses such as CL and XRD, on projects where these techniques need to be adopted.
