Utah FORGE: Well 16B(78)-32 Cuttings X-Ray Diffraction Data

Publicly accessible License 

X-ray diffraction (XRD) results from cuttings samples collected during drilling of Utah FORGE well 16B(78)-32. The dataset includes XRD data for 77 samples taken between 3,120 and 10,977 feet measured depth (from the Kelly Bushing, 31 feet above ground level), with sampling intervals primarily at 100-foot spacing. Mineral abundances are reported in weight percent, rounded to the nearest whole number. Entries marked "tr" (trace) indicate a mineral presence below one weight percent, detection only in the clay-sized fraction, or identification in low abundance through petrographic analysis.
