Stationary Laboratory

Stationary laboratory consists of three sections:

Core processing section

Its main tasks are:

• photo documentation

• UV photography

• digital photography

• lithological description

• core preservation

• selection of core samples for residual gas analysis

• preparation and handover of core for further analyses

Laboratory analyses section

Its main tasks are:

• analysis of core density  using

• helium method

• water method

• residual gas analysis

• collection of residual gas for qualitative and quantitative analyses

• sorption isotherm analysis

The following analyses are carried out in co-operation with other laboratories:

• composition of desorbed gas  

• composition of residual gas 

• isotope composition of desorbed gas

• isotope composition of residual gas

• proximate analysis 

• elementary analysis of coal  

• TOC

• vitrinite reflectance  

• maceral composition 

• mineral composition

• ash and moisture content in a sample after residual gas analysis

• moisture content

• total sulphur content

• sulphur content in a

• Rock Eval pyrolitic analysis

• X-Ray analysis  

• porosity

• permeability

Report section

Its main tasks are:

• calculation of lost gas for collected core samples

• drawing up reports

• preliminary report

• desorption report
