Cuttings Analysis
Composition and evolution of fluids trapped in rock material
Achieve rapid, cost-effective evaluation of the entire wellbore.
The EcoFlex™ multifactor cuttings evaluation-while-drilling service advances cuttings analysis by delivering near-real-time lithological, mineralogical, and geochemical composition data to optimize operational decisions and minimize risk in conventional reservoirs. By pairing precise, repeatable mineralogy data with high-quality imaging, the EcoFlex service identifies lithofacies more accurately than ever. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution digital microscopy (HRDM), the EcoFlex service removes subjectivity and human error from the analysis. This enables optimized well trajectories during drilling and helps identify the best zones for logging, coring, and completing.
Logs from the EcoFlex service can be integrated with available data to create a comprehensive log that is transmitted via the InterAct™ secure, real-time wellsite data delivery platform for remote multidisciplinary interpretation. High-quality lithological columns are automatically generated and stored in our acquisition system to serve as benchmarks for future wells.
