Logging and Chemostratigraphy Services

Ellington & Associates, Inc. and Chemostrat Inc. have formed an alliance to provide geochemical well logging and chemostratigraphy services from our lab in Houston, Texas.

The Houston-based lab is one of the first to provide synthetic gamma-ray logging, geochemical well logging, and mineral logging services in the U.S.

Successfully used in basins around the world, geochemical well logging is a proven stratigraphic correlation tool that provides outstanding analytical support and insight for geological interpretation. Not only can elemental correlations contribute valuable information in the development of regional surveys, they also can furnish data essential for optimal field and reservoir interpretation, evaluation, and development.

Elemental logging can greatly enhance petrophysical interpretation and define more exact parameters for well log analysis. The technique uses unique element suites derived from the analysis of cuttings and cores to observe changes throughout the stratigraphic column and to generate a quick, accurate description of lithology. This can be key for complete understanding of the stratigraphic column and for well-to-well correlation. Analysis of relative elemental abundances creates a quantifiable basis for understanding the mineralogy, provenance, depositional environment, and diagenesis of the formation being studied.
