Abstract: Raman Spectroscopy was utilized for HMA in sands and silts from the Triassic and Jurassic of the Barents Sea

Heavy Mineral Analysis (HMA) is critical in evaluating sediment provenance, and has applications in interpreting controls of provenance on reservoir quality and for well correlation. Chemostrat Ltd. has launched an automated HMA service using Raman spectroscopy to deliver reliable results with a fast turnaround.

After years of rigorous R&D this technology has proven capable of quick and accurate differentiation of heavy mineral species, including species difficult or impossible to determine optically e.g., silt grade material. Furthermore, unlike SEM based systems polymorphs are easily differentiated as the Raman spectra is influenced by mineral structure.

Tom Stone will be presenting an example of how Raman Spectroscopy was utilized for HMA in sands and silts from the Triassic and Jurassic of the Barents Sea in the afternoon of Session 5.
