Core barrel head assembly with an integrated sample orientation tool and system for using same
A core barrel head assembly having at least one electronic instrument that is configured to obtain orientation data; a power source; and a communication means to receive and/or transmit orientation data for use in a core sample down hole surveying and sample orientation system that is configured to provide an indication of the orientation of a core sample relative to a body of material from which the core has been extracted, and also to a method of core sample orientation identification.
A core or rock analysis system having an X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) detection subassembly, a sample movement pathway, an imaging assembly, a user interface, and a processor. The XRF detection subassembly defines a sample analysis area and includes an X-ray source and an XRF sensor. The sample movement pathway defines a path for the core or rock sample to be advanced from a sample loading location to a sample analysis area. The imaging assembly acquires an image of the core or rock sample, and the user interface displays the image of the core or rock sample. The user interface provides visual indications on the displayed image that reflect respective areas within the sample, and the processor excludes at least one area within the sample from scanning and/or analysis. The processor receives at least one output from the XRF sensor that is indicative of the measured XRF of the sample.
