Abstract
A method for determining mineralogy of a formation includes determining a model of arenites in the formation by performing a first type of linear regression on a plurality of elemental dry weights of the formation based upon a sum of elemental dry weights of calcium and magnesium being at least a given value, or performing a second type of linear regression on the elemental dry weights based upon the sum of the elemental dry weights of elemental calcium and magnesium being less than the given value. A model of arkoses in the formation is determined by performing a third type of linear regression on the elemental dry weights. A partitioning function is then determined. The mineralogy of the formation is then determined by applying the partitioning function to the model of arenites and the model of arkoses, and adding the model of arenites and the model of arkoses together.
