Advanced Hydrocarbon Stratigraphy
Advanced Hydrocarbon Stratigraphy (AHS) directly measures the volatiles entrained in fresh and legacy geological materials (cuttings, core, side wall core, and outcrop samples) with its proprietary in-house technology, Rock Volatiles Stratigraphy (RVStrat), to provide unique insights for exploration and development activities related to:
- Helium (link to Case Studies PDF) - Use legacy or fresh materials to supplement active prospecting/exploration projects and understand the subsurface “Helium System”
- Carbon Capture Storage (link to flyer PDF) - Evaluate potential communication across sealing features and understand if there has been past CO2 migration in the subsurface or previous seal failure during the site assessment process; with legacy materials this can be done before even drilling the first well
- Geothermal - The wide range of compounds measured by RVStrat including sulfides, sulfur dioxide, CO2, helium, and water in addition to mechanical strength measurements made of the cuttings can provide crucial insights into aspects of a geothermal system like potential mantle communication and water phase transitions
- Oil and Gas (link to Gas flyer PDF) - RVStrat was originally developed to work on questions related to oil and gas from exploration, petroleum system assessments, postmortems of underperforming wells, by-passed pay identification, proximity to pay, and development. AHS continues to maintain a unique dataset to address significant oil and gas questions using detailed stratigraphic geochemistry.

SciAps
SciAps has developed the LIBS (laser) Z-901 Lithium analyzer, purpose-built for measuring Li in rocks and brines, and Z-902 Lithium analyzer with an extended spectrometer range for those users who need to additionally measure boron (B), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and perhaps other metals in brines. SciAps has also upgraded their flagship Li analyzer, the Z-903 model (formerly Z-300), for those users who want to measure Li plus any other stable element in the periodic table.

SciAps also introduces a groundbreaking new XRF analyzer for REEs. The X-555 uses a 55 kV X-ray tube (compared to other analyzers with a 50 kV tube), making it the most powerful X-ray tube ever developed for handheld XRF analysis. With the higher voltage, the X-555 effectively analyzes all of the light REEs including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd) samarium (Sm); plus heavy REEs europium (Eu), and gadolinium (Gd). The standard beam analysis in the unit provides optimal analysis for heavy REE yttrium (Y), which is a widely used pathfinder of the other heavy REEs. The standard beam also analyzes 30-plus low atomic number elements, transition and other heavy metals of interest to the mining community.
Built on the Android platform, SciAps instruments operate with the ease of a smart phone using app-based software that assures quality testing by every operator. Built-in Wifi and Bluetooth, with GPS capability, allow users to print, email, and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient, real-time results and full-featured reporting. Automatically merge XRF and LIBS tests with SciAps Cloud Services, and easily manage operations from anywhere.
