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 accurate but is very ...

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 mixing it for some ...

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 often is used to help ...

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 usually performed as ...

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 order to produce a ...

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 Soxhlet or, when fluid ...
