X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is an instrument that analyses rock samples from surface exploration, rock cuttings from geothermal well logs and brine/fluid scale samples. The chemical and elementary composition results from the XFR determine the geological history, stratigraphy and evolution of an area including the depth of magma chambers and magma temperatures. It can also determine geothermal fluid scale composition and is therefore useful in reservoir management.
