Abstract

A method for processing proppant from a well. A plurality of proppant samples are collected during drilling of a well for imaging analysis. In addition to imaging analysis a further correction factor is determined for the samples using additional analysis on a portion of the samples. Determining and applying the correction factor to the imaging results provides a more accurate proppant log. The additional analysis can be by scanning electron microscopy, such as for differentiating the silicon proppant particles from other elemental particles resulting from the drilling.
