I. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Introduction

j. Petrographic thin sections of core and well-cuttings (small rock chips) samples that will be used for microscopic examination are needed for up to six hundred (1,150), representative core and well-cuttings samples. The core and well-cuttings samples are to be generated from a new Cretaceous well and multiple

Floridian Aquifer wells to be drilled or existing in southern Florida.

B. Background

Petrographic thin-section analysis has been used for core and well-cuttings sample description and aquifer characterization by the United States Geological Survey Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center (USGS

CFLWSC) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for about the last 17 years. The utilization of petrographic thin-section analyses has proven to be essential to understanding the hydrogeology of the aquifers in southern

Florida. The need for similar analyses using petrographic thin sections has increased considerably with the initiation of a five-year, large-scale regional aquifer study of southern Florida in summer 2014. Many hundreds of petrographic thin sections will be required to complete the objectives of the five-year study, which will utilize a new Cretaceous well and multiple Floridian Aquifer wells to be drilled or existing in southern Florida.

C. Definitions

A thin section (or petrographic thin section) is a laboratory preparation that is composed of a rock, mineral, soil, pottery, bones, or even metal sample for use with a polarizing petrographic microscope, or electron microscope and electron microprobe. A thin sliver of rock is cut from the sample with a diamond saw and ground optically flat. It is then mounted on a glass slide and then ground smooth using progressively finer abrasive grit until the sample is only 30 micrometers thick. Thin sections are prepared in order to investigate the optical properties of the minerals in the rock. This work is a part of petrology and helps to reveal the origin and evolution of the parent rock.

Well cuttings are the soil, rock fragments, and pulverized materials that are removed from a drilled borehole.

D. Scope

The vendor is required to produce one (1) petrographic thin section for each core or well-cuttings sample submitted to them by the USGS CFLWSC. Up to 1,150 thin sections will be produced and of two different types: (1) 900 thin sections of rock (typically limestone or dolomite) cut from rock samples from core or bulk well-cuttings and (2) 250 thin section prepared from picked well-cuttings grouped by lithology representative of a single well-depth interval and prepared as a single thin section.

II. WORK REQUIREMENTS

A. Technical Requirements

1. Description of specific work requirements and/or work products for rock samples from core or bulk well-cuttings:

The vendor is required to produce standard sized thin section for each rock sample from core or bulk well-cuttings sample submitted to them by the USGS CFLWSC. The quantity of thin sections will be up to 900 produced. Pre-cut core or bagged cuttings samples will be shipped to vendor by the USGS CFLWSC in batches of approximately 50 samples and thin sections sent back to the USGS CFLWSC, Fort Lauderdale, Florida in batches of approximately 50 samples.

Specific technical requirements for each thin section are:

1. 27x46 mm slide—standard size

G15PS00086 Page 6 of 28

2. Slide composition of glass

3. Acrylic mounting composition

4. No glass cover slips to be installed

5. Microprobe quality polish on one-side of sample surface opposite of glass slide

6. 30-µm rock slice thickness

7. Vacuum embedding of epoxy into each rock sample

8. Use blue dye to color embedding epoxy

9. Mark the stratigraphic orientation and sample number on the glass slide of each thin section

10. Perform repairs (glue together broken rock samples) for approximately 40 of the 1150 samples sent.

11. Delivery of product will be within 6 weeks of vendor’s receipt of core or cuttings samples

2. “Special handling of cuttings samples” for 250 samples of picked well-cuttings grouped by lithology representative of a single well-depth interval and prepared as a single thin section.

a. 27x46 mm slide—standard size

b. Slide composition of glass

c. Acrylic mounting composition

d. No glass cover slips to be installed

e. Microprobe quality polish on one-side of sample surface opposite of glass slide

f. 30-µm rock slice thickness g.Vacuum embedding of clear epoxy into all cuttings samples

h. Mark the sample number on the glass slide of each thin section

i. Delivery of product will be within 6 weeks of vendor’s receipt of core or cuttings samples

k. 250 samples of picked well-cuttings grouped by lithology representative of a single well-depth interval and prepared as a single thin section will be submitted by the USGS to the

Vendor’s Thin Section Preparation Lab for thin section preparation. USGS well-cuttings sample sets (e.g. W3011 4480-90 ft, figure 1) will be packaged and subsets differentiated by a letter (i.e., A, B, C, etc., figure 1).

l. See figures 2 and 3 for laboratory generalized laboratory sampling procedure.

Figure 1. Subsamples of picked well-cuttings grouped by lithology representative of a single well-depth interval and labeled in individual bags. Lithology groups for each depth interval will be distinguished by a letter (i.e. A, B, C etc.)

Figure 2. Illustration of the sequence of placement of sub-samples or, that is, picked well-cuttings grouped by lithology representative of a single well-depth interval in final arrangement in a mold.

Clear epoxy will partly fill the mold to cover over sub-samples A-F (lettered rectangles), which are individual cuttings sub samples embedded in epoxy and the blue rectangle is a marker for the alphabetized sub samples (figure 1) in a composite mold (largest rectangular outline.

Figure 3. Final arrangement of sub samples (figure 2) and clear epoxy surrounding them to produce a composite epoxy block prior to final cut for final production of a single thin section.

Blue marker shown in figure 2 is out of the photo field of view.

3. Criteria for acceptance of Product or Service:

All thin sections must meet industry standard thickness of 30 micrometers (µm) across the entire length and width of the thin section. The USGS CFLWSC will check for accurate standard birefringence of quartz and calcite mineral grains for each thin section.
