Exciting developments from our sister company, Chemostrat APAC Region Experience! Their cutting-edge work in salt characterisation is opening up new frontiers in hydrogen exploration and storage. We're proud to collaborate on such innovative solutions driving the future of energy. #Geochemistry #HydrogenStorage #EnergyTransition #Innovation
At 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗖, partnered of with our world leading analytical laboratories of our sister company Chemostrat 𝗟𝘁𝗱, we have been driving forward the science of salt characterisation, correlation and distribution modelling as part of our advanced 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲. Our most recent breakthroughs in sub-dividing complex salt bodies into discernible sub units, and correlating these across basins, stems from our innovative use of 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗮 (𝗜𝗖𝗣) techniques, complemented by 𝗫-𝗥𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗫𝗥𝗙). The power of 𝗜𝗖𝗣 in salt analysis: 𝗜𝗖𝗣-𝗢𝗘𝗦 (𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆) provides high-precision data on major and minor elements, revealing subtle compositional variations within salt formations. 𝗜𝗖𝗣-𝗠𝗦 (𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆) offers unparalleled sensitivity for trace element quantification, allowing us to identify minute geochemical signatures that are often overlooked. The combination of 𝗜𝗖𝗣-𝗢𝗘𝗦 and 𝗜𝗖𝗣-𝗠𝗦, calibrated using our in-house proprietary methods and standards, delivers unrivaled precision and accuracy giving us a comprehensive elemental profile, from percentage levels down to parts per million concentrations. We also use 𝗫𝗥𝗙 in our first-stage programme as this offers rapid, non-destructive analysis for initial assessments. In this regard it is a cost-effective way to characterise some of the broader trends in chemistry, but it is our advanced 𝗜𝗖𝗣 process that truly unlocks the hidden complexities within salt bodies. This integrated approach enables us to develop detailed 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 schemes, generate high-resolution, high-precision correlations within the salts and indeed the surrounding geology. The generation of such 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮, combined with novel processing and measurement profiles to ensure 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, is a major step forward in broad spectrum 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and quantification workflows. This approach has delivered to commercial delivery and project deadlines, a particularly successful deployment being in our recent work in the 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻, where we've successfully applied the techniques to subdivide the complex salt formation in this basin. Our work is opening new possibilities for 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 site assessment and optimization, with further work on the key sales in Australia being a primary target for our ongoing work. As we continue to refine our methodologies, we're always eager to collaborate with others in this field.
