Reservoir understanding, critical minerals and ESG initiatives are driving the energy industry to seek new measurement solutions and insights.

We are a measurements company focused on rocks, fluids, and gas, backed by a team of geoscientists and engineers with deep reservoir characterization, research, and technology development expertise. Our capabilities include XRF elemental analysis, XRD mineralogy, thin section petrography, SEM imaging, gas and fluid chromatography, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. With over 70 years of experience, we support the energy, mining, and environmental sectors.

Surface Measurement While Drilling™️

Surface Measurement While Drilling™️, or SMWD™️, makes the full potential of cuttings available.

Geological uncertainty within the well or across a field is reduced with the delivery of quantitative elemental data in real-time. Our XRF field specialists assure data quality with rigorous laboratory standard checks and sample depth verification. All real-time is used to enhance drilling efficiency, improve geo-steering, and completion optimization.

Geosteering

Diversified has steered over 16 million feet of hole over the past 10 years using traditional GR curves to guide us. Building on this expertise, we now utilize unique elemental data from cuttings to steer wells with greater confidence, stay in-zone, and avoid hazards. Additionally, our chemo stratigraphers utilize binaries to better define stratigraphic packages and formation tops.

Elements also mitigate the measure of uncertainty that GR data exhibits in certain formations. Elemental steering increases the geological knowledge and confidence in correct geo-positioning. Both lead to improved completion strategies and profitability.

Overcoming High-Temperature MWD Failures with Surface XRF Intelligence

High geothermal gradients routinely cause MWD tool failures, creating costly non-productive time and compromising geosteering. Diversified’s RoboLogger™ surface gamma and elemental spectroscopy (U, K, Th) maintain geosteering continuity when downhole tools fail.

Our surface XRF-based EGR and elemental curves replace downhole gamma, enabling uninterrupted reservoir navigation and reducing NPT by nearly $13 million across 31 wells. Operators also gained over $100 million in added gas revenue by maintaining reservoir contact.

With an investment of just $2.7M, operators achieved a 10×+ ROI in under one year, demonstrating the value of dependable surface measurements in extreme environments.
