Fields of Expertise

• Mineral Resource, Mining Integrity, and Mining Concept Studies:  “Mineral Resource” includes identification, description, and mapping of specific mineral (i.e. potash, coal) sequences in terms of economic potential.  “Mining Integrity” seeks to define factors that may have an impact upon sustained safe and economic mining, such as estimation of water and/or brine inflow potential, mineral grade variations within the mining bed, and geological support for geophysical surveys. “Mining Concept” describes engineering studies focused upon delineating potential mining blocks and preliminary mine planning.   
  
  
• Regional Subsurface Analysis: This refers to the evaluation of subsurface data, including borehole geophysical logs, drill cores and cuttings, and geophysical surveys, to provide interpretations of oil, natural gas, brine and coal resources and the potential for their economic exploitation.  
  
  
• Reservoir Characterization: North Rim undertakes detailed, pool-scale studies of the stratigraphy, sedimentology, and reservoir description (porosity, permeability, oil saturation) of petroleum and brine-bearing reservoirs to define opportunities for enhanced production. 
  
  
• Exploration Management and Advisement: North Rim has formulated exploration programs, including design, budgeting, and operation of geophysical (seismic) surveys and surface drilling operations.  North Rim provides onsite geological supervision including preparation of coring program, core quality control measures, well testing interval selection and interpretation,  and RQD and Q-testing.
