X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis To determine the quantity and
mineralogy of rock samples, Corex offer x-ray diffraction (XRD)
powder analysis. XRD analysis data are provided in form of a
Whole Rock Mineral Analysis and of the Clay Fraction <2micron.
XRD Analysis is a mandatory technique to the petroleum industry
in order to obtain reliable semi-quantitative data to highlight
various aspects vital to reservoir assessment. Corexâ€™s XRD
Analysis services are outlined below: - Our experienced
Reservoir Geologists can provide modal analyses of whole rock
and clay fraction minerals in order to define the volumetric
mineral composition. High contents of clay minerals for
instance, may give a first estimation on porosities and
permeabilities in siliciclastic rocks, high amounts of dolomite,
anhydrite and salt, may allow first assessments concerning
porosities / permeabilities in carbonates. Click here for
