Our Group

Reservoir Group is an emerging global market leader in downhole tools, technologies and associated sub-surface services. We are an independent group of oilfield service companies that possesses strength in depth.

We operate as a club of international businesses which, individually, thrive in their own specialist fields – but are united by a shared business model and shared values.

At Reservoir Group, we embrace fresh thinking. We prize innovation. We collaborate to create new technical solutions and operational models. In a new age of oil & gas exploration and production, we take a new approach. We challenge convention.

Supplementary Analysis

Grain Size Analysis (Sieve or Laser Particle Size Analyses)

Particle size distribution may be determined by the rapid and inexpensive Laser Particle Size Analysis (LPSA) method or by conventional sieving using a standard or modified sieve set. Commonly used to support Petrography but also well engineering, results are presented as tabulated data and particle size distribution curves.

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)

XRD aids mineral identification and may be used to support Petrography. The clay fraction, whole rock or both clay and whole rock may be analysed. Results are presented as tabulated data with annotated traces if required.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Analysis of SEM micrographs supports clay mineral analysis and diagenetic interpretation within Petrography. Results are presented as annotated micrographs.Pore cast SEM enables the detailed investigation of pore structure – of particular value in carbonate reservoirs.

Specialised Petrologic Analyses

Additional techniques such as Cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy, Fluid Inclusion (FI) microthermometry and Stable Isotope (SI) analysis may also be applied as appropriate in diagenetic studies.

About us

At Kirk Petrophysics™, we have one essential goal: to support the capture and retention of meaningful representative data from cores.

It is a goal that we achieve routinely for customers around the world with our complete wellsite core-handling solution.

At the wellsite, we use tried-and-tested packing and preservation techniques and perform ‘hot shot’ analysis via in-situ testing capabilities.

From the wellsite, we deploy our specially-developed Lithotarge™ stabilisation techniques in transportation services characterised by care, professionalism and security.

At our laboratory facilities, we provide analytical services that range from core processing and core analysis to petrology and thin sections.

At our strategically-located storage facilities, our priorities are integrity, security and data access.

Our operational base near London features well-equipped laboratories, storage warehouses and extensive sample viewing areas. Those are complemented by facilities in Aberdeen, Madagascar and West Africa that provide support for projects in key oil & gas provinces internationally.

Everything we do is underpinned by robust and thorough quality assurance practices.

And as a member of the Reservoir Group™ – a club of specialist businesses which together embrace knowledge and experience across all reservoir operations – we can tap into a unique pool of resources and expertise in support of our commitment to provide best-in-class services.
