as part of the CCA-related analytical capability.
Advanced Elemental Analysis of Core Samples
Spectral Core Gamma Ray Analysis
DeepStrata's Spectral Core Gamma Ray analysis separates the natural gamma response of core samples into potassium, uranium and thorium components.
Our workflow includes:
Controlled core scanning
High-resolution measurement
Depth referencing
Energy calibration
Background correction
Spectral deconvolution
QA/QC validation
Integrated geological interpretation
The resulting data can be combined with core photography, XRD, geochemical data, sedimentological descriptions and wireline logs.
Unlocking Geological Time Through Fossils
Biostratigraphy
DeepStrata Energy provides biostratigraphy studies using palynology and micropaleontology to help determine the relative age, correlation and depositional history of sedimentary sequences.
Our specialists examine fossil evidence from geological samples to develop time-calibrated stratigraphic frameworks that support well correlation, depositional modelling, reservoir zonation and exploration decision-making.
Our capabilities include:
Palynology — analysis of pollen, spores, dinoflagellate cysts and other organic microfossils.
Micropaleontology — analysis of microfossils including foraminifera, ostracods, radiolarians, diatoms and nannofossils.
Biostratigraphic results are integrated with core descriptions, geochemistry, mineralogy, sedimentology, petrophysical data, wireline logs and seismic information to provide a broader understanding of the subsurface.
Defining and Correlating the Geological Framework
Lithostratigraphy
DeepStrata Energy supports the interpretation of sedimentary sequences through the integration of core description, lithological observations, stratigraphic information and complementary analytical datasets.
Our multidisciplinary approach helps identify and correlate geological units while connecting lithological characteristics with sedimentological, biostratigraphic, geochemical and petrophysical information.
By integrating these datasets, DeepStrata supports improved understanding of stratigraphic boundaries, depositional systems, facies relationships and reservoir continuity.
Understanding Reservoir Properties Through Integrated Core Data
Petrophysical Analysis
DeepStrata Energy supports the interpretation of sedimentary sequences through the integration of core description, lithological observations, stratigraphic information and complementary analytical datasets.
Our multidisciplinary approach helps identify and correlate geological units while connecting lithological characteristics with sedimentological, biostratigraphic, geochemical and petrophysical information.
By integrating these datasets, DeepStrata supports improved understanding of stratigraphic boundaries, depositional systems, facies relationships and reservoir continuity.
Unlocking Chemical Insights From Subsurface Samples
Geochemistry
DeepStrata Energy integrates geochemical data with core description, mineralogy, sedimentology, biostratigraphy, petrophysical information and Spectral Core Gamma Ray analysis to develop a more complete understanding of subsurface formations.
Geochemical information forms part of our multidisciplinary approach to interpreting source-rock characteristics, mineralogical variations, depositional conditions, reservoir quality and geological evolution.
By combining geochemical datasets with other core and well information, DeepStrata helps reduce subsurface uncertainty and strengthen geological and reservoir models.
Elemental Insight for Better Geological Interpretation
XRF Analysis
DeepStrata Energy includes XRF Analysis within its planned laboratory-services portfolio, supporting the broader objective of extracting meaningful geological information from subsurface samples.
XRF analysis can be positioned within DeepStrata's integrated analytical workflow alongside core description, mineralogical studies, geochemistry, petrophysical data and Spectral Core Gamma Ray analysis.
The resulting analytical information can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of geological composition and support multidisciplinary subsurface interpretation.
