Nine (9) years of experience performing and interpreting data utilizing:Scanning Electron Microscope with Elemental Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM/EDS) - primary use to identify clay texture and pore type in potential producing rock recovered via rotary or percussion coring. Also confirm scale texture and type of inorganic material recovered from producing wells.X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) - quantify mineral phases in potential producing rock recovered via rotary or percussion coring. Also quantify scale and inorganic phases recovered from producing wells. Identified approximately 126 different scale phases over this period as well as recommendations to remove these scalesMercury Intrusion Porosimeter (MIP) - quantify pore size, modality and estimate water saturation using potential producing rock recovered primarily via rotary coringOptical Microscopy - confirm mineral phases and texture, assess pore size and modality as well as potential mechanisms that would mitigate production of hydrocarbons using rock recovered primarily via rotary coring
