Petrography

AIM GeoAnalytics provides an integrated suite of analytical and interpretative geologic services that support our clients’projects. AIM’s Petrography services can be performed on samples from cores, core plugs, sidewall cores, drill cuttings (grain mount), or outcrop samples.

AIM’s petrography services include:

  • General (qualitative) thin section Analysis
  • Detailed (quantitative) thin section Analysis
  • Micro-porosity visualization and quantification using
  • Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM)

 

Our team of expert geoscientists works closely with our clients to develop rock-based analysis that is designed to mitigate risk and minimize uncertainties at a price you can afford. Our team has extensive experience in petrographic analysis and specializes in reservoir characterization of clastic and carbonate conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

In addition to providing standard petrographic thin section analysis, AIM has developed a novel workflow to use Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) as a new tool to image, characterize, and quantify porosity to the sub-micron scale.
