GREAT PLAINS WELL LOGGING
Mineralogy (XRD)
• PYROLYSIS PROVIDES CRITICAL GEOCHEMICAL DATA TO
EVALUATE THE ENTIRE WELLBORE
• S1 (FREE OIL), S2 (POTENTIAL/KEROGEN), AND S3 (ORGANIC
DISCHARGE)
• TMAX, HI, AND OI CAN HELP CHARACTERIZE KEROGEN TYPE
• TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON (TOC) WITH THE INORGANIC
CARBON REMOVED FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF
ORGANIC ZONES

Program Pyrolysis
• XRD PROVIDES MINERALOGICAL BREAKDOWN OF THE
FORMATIONS DURING THE DRILLING PROCESS
• QUARTZ, CALCITE, DOLOMITE, K-SPAR, PLAGIOCLASE, PYRITE,
AND TOTAL CLAY
• ACCURATELY DEFINES FORMATION TOPS
• BRITTLENESS INDEX TO LOCATE THE BEST LOCATION FOR
HORIZONTAL DRILLING AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
• FIRST LAB GRADE XRD TO BE INCORPORATED IN FIELD
OPERATIONS
• ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF WELLBORE
• 31 ELEMENTS (12 MAJORS/19 TRACES)
• RESERVOIR STRATIGRAPHY
• PALEOREDOX AND PRODUCTIVITY PROXIES FOR ORGANIC
ZONES
• ELEMENTAL SIGNATURE FOR HORIZONTAL WELLBORE
PLACEMENT
