Services

Rocktype specialises in high-volume automated mineralogy projects. With our QS Cuttings service we regularly scan thousands of samples per project, delivering high quality mineralogy and textural data. Together with supporting services like high resolution scans this provides powerful insights to support better decision-making.

QS Cuttings

QS Cuttings is our high volume scan service for drill cuttings, typically applied to full wells. An alternative to optical point counting or XRD, QS Cuttings provides a detailed understanding of the sample mineralogy which allows precise stratigraphic mapping and calibration of petrophysical log data.

“The unique quality of the rich QEMSCAN mineralogy data are that it enhances value creation due to increased subsurface understanding within the fields of oil/gas, CCS, and the future exploration for deep sea minerals and subsurface hydrogen generation”
