Water sampling, Sumatra 605

Laboratory

We have our own Nikon LV100 Pol microscope with digital camera, and a Philips 1130 XRD machine in house, so we can complete most studies without delay. We have completed petrology studies of surface rock samples, well cuttings, cores, and geothermal scales from many different projects over the last 30 years. We specialise in rapid and accurate:

  • Thin section petrography
  • Reflected light petrography
  • XRD analysis
  • Photomicrographs
  • Fluid inclusion analysis
  • Microprobe / SEM analysis

We can improve results in a number of ways, including:

  • Training courses – customised to suit client requirements
  • Project planning
  • Well targeting
  • Peer reviews
  • Drilling strategy
  • Conceptual models
  • Geothermal resource assessment and reporting – to Australian geothermal reporting code standard
