Ellington & Associates, Inc.

Proper collecting and packaged procedures at the well site provide for more reliable information and are likely to yield the greatest potential microfossil recovery. While you are at it, allow us to prepare these samples for long term storage and reduce your risk of oil and/or drilling mud leaking onto shelves and floors, odors, dealing with messy and disorderly samples, a detailed inventory listing and potential storage volume reductions of up to 70%. Here is (on the right side) a typical example of how the samples look on arrival.

You can see (on the right side) that samples prepared by us can be storage in plastic lined doth bags or envelopes. We provides both options as our client preferences vary. In this manner they are easier to work with, neatly organized and will maintain sample integrity.

Please note in each case there are interval, well, client, and operator information on each individual sample and on the box as well. This provides a simple and easy vehicle to focus right in on the appropriate interval with a minimum of wasted effort.

Beyond the preservation of samples, allow us to coordinate the samples process from dockside to your designated contractors, preparing the samples, preserving the data and storing then for your later retrieval.

Whatever your needs, one source to manage all sample issues. Think samples……..Think Ellington!
