Water Analysis
GeoMark offers enhanced water geochemistry capabilities, extending our deep hydrocarbon analysis expertise to provide valuable solutions for water and geothermal applications.
-
Advanced Trace-Element Detection: Utilizing the Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ‑MS, GeoMark delivers ultra-trace precision in detecting metals and elements in water samples—ideal for environmental monitoring, production allocation, and geothermal reservoir assessment.
-
Comprehensive Support for Energy & Environment Projects: From baseline groundwater surveys to complex geothermal brine diagnostics, their water geochemical data aids in resource management, regulatory compliance, and enhanced reservoir modeling.
This radar plot visualizes geochemical signatures from different formations, revealing distinct fluid chemistries across geologic intervals. Use it to identify production zones, track fluid migration, and support accurate reservoir allocation.
Key Analysis & Benefits:
Major ions (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, HCO₃⁻): Profile formation water chemistry to trace mixing and connectivity.
Alkalinity & Conductivity: Quickly assess salinity, chemical compatibility, and scaling risk.
Specific Gravity & TDS: Measure fluid density and dissolved solids to establish brine quality.
Stable isotopes (δ¹⁸O / δ²H): Trace water origin, migration, and identify injected vs. formation fluids.
Metal trace analysis: Using ultra-sensitive Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ-MS, GeoMark quantifies trace/major metals (e.g., lithium, boron, strontium, iron, manganese), essential for environmental monitoring, formation evaluation, and brine resource potential.
Why It Matters:
Enables full fluid system integration: water, oil, and gas characterization in one lab.
Supports production allocation, reservoir connectivity studies, enhanced recovery monitoring, and emerging brine-based resource extraction.
Offers a non-siloed data foundation that streamlines subsurface decision-making.
Critical Metals Exploration
GeoMark’s critical minerals services leverages the same high-end geochemical tools for energy and water, and makes them available to support strategic metal exploration.
-
Trace-element profiling of rocks and water via ICP-QQQ-MS and Bruker S2 Puma XRF, with strong lithium detection capabilities.
-
Tailored workflows that guide sample prep, quantitation, and interpretation for battery, tech, and clean-energy metals exploration.
