Multifactor shale-cuttings evaluation-while-drilling service

Unlock more insights from your shale reservoir using wellbore cuttings. They hold a wealth of information that can help you optimize well placement, enhance completion strategy, and boost estimated ultimate recovery.

The LithoFlex service extracts the maximum value from your wellbore cuttings.

  • Cuttings analysis starts with high-resolution digital microscopy to magnify your view 200 times, enhancing rock description.
  • Then, DRIFTS, a unique infrared-based measurement technology provides fast and effective characterization of shale rocks by quantifying minerals and kerogen content with a single measurement.
  • Next, a newly characterized XRF, combined with leaner sample preparation, provides near-real-time elemental data for geochemical fingerprinting to reveal depositional environment and improve well-to-well correlation.

LithoFlex service helps you evaluate the lateral heterogeneity of your well for more confident well placement decisions. All data obtained at the rig can be sent offsite to remote experts for improved decision making with fewer personnel on the rig.

Achieve more insight while drilling and maximize the value of your downhole formation evaluation by translating your rock cuttings into impactful data with the LithoFlex service.
