hierarchical cluster analysis
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A method of cluster analysis in which the distance between every pair of data points is determined and the relative distances displayed on a dendogram. This method is completely ...
conductometric titration
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for estimating the cation-exchange capacity of a sample by measuring the conductivity of the sample during titration. The technique includes crushing a core sample and ...
X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for elemental analysis of samples based on the characteristic fluorescence given off by different elements subjected to X-rays. In core analysis, X-ray fluorescence ...
timed-slug analysis
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for determining the velocity of fluid flow in an injection well based on measuring the time a slug of radioactive tracer takes to move down the well. The analysis is ...
multishot survey
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for determining the deviation of a wellbore. The multishot tool provides more accuracy than the single-shot tool and is usually used in highly deviated wells.
alpha processing
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for combining a measurement that has a high accuracy but low precision with another measurement of the same quantity that has a high precision but low accuracy in ...
distillation extraction
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A technique for cleaning core samples in which the water fraction is removed by distillation and the oil fraction is extracted using solvents. Cleaning is done with either the ...
