Utah FORGE: Well 16B(78)-32 Cuttings X-ray Diffraction Data
X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of cuttings samples collected during the drilling of Utah FORGE well 16B(78)-32. This is a spreadsheet of XRD data from 77 cuttings samples taken from 3,120 to 10,977 feet measured depth (measured from the Kelly Bushing 31 ft above ground level). Sample spacing is largely 100 ft.
Mineral abundance results are given in weight percent of the sample, with results rounded to the nearest whole number. Fields marked with tr (trace) indicate that mineral is present, but that its abundance calculated from the Rietveld refinement was less than one weight percent; that it was observed in the clay-sized fraction, but not the bulk; and/or that it was observed in low abundance during petrographic analyses.
