Description of Consultation

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analysis

Provides data quickly to identify the characteristics and composition of the rock and confirm the mineralogy of the strata. Measuring the elements within the drill cuttings to determine properties of quartz, limestone, clay and other properties can determine where the laterals are located within the strata, thus identifying what part of the lateral to complete.

XRF Benefits:

Quick and affordable approach to measure cuttings, core and outcrops of host rocks.
Analyze reservoir rock composition and lateral well sections(cuttings).
No logs in lateral required.
Insight provided for proper frac spacing.
Target/determine where the well is within the section.

Senior Exploration Geologist with ARCO International Oil and Gas responsible for geologic duties pertaining to two lease blocks, offshore Gabon, West Africa, which included drilling a $15 Million oil discovery, basin analysis, and prospect generation. Conducted presentations to ARCO management, foreign partners, and Gabonese government officials. Responsible for all phases of geological exploration in onshore and offshore basins throughout world. Beyond West Africa, duties also included regional basin analysis, prospect generation, core description, source rock maturation modeling, interpreting 2D seismic data, and wellsite evaluation. Participated in bid-rounds, data rooms, and farm-out presentations. Involved with projects in Syria, Australia, New Zealand, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, and Russia. Conducted presentations to ARCO management, foreign partners, and government officials.
Development Geologist with THUMS Long Beach Co. (ARCO) responsible for geologic duties pertaining to the Long Beach Unit, offshore Wilmington Field, which included assisting with the interpretation of a 3D seismic data set. As part of a Reservoir Management Team, duties included working with the reservoir engineers to identify new drilling locations and completion intervals, detailed reservoir volumetric studies, seismic interpretation, and prospect assessment.

Mr. Roth is also a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists (SIPES).
