Abstract: A system and method for performing an operation at a wellbore is disclosed. A sample is obtained from a selected depth of the wellbore. A first test is performed on the sample to obtain a first estimate of mineralogy of the sample with a first degree of certainty. A second test is selected for the sample based on the first estimate of mineralogy. The second test is performed on the sample to obtain a second estimate of mineralogy having a second degree of certainty greater than the first degree of certainty. The operation is performed at the selected depth based on the second estimate of mineralogy.

Abstract: A system and method for developing a wellbore is disclosed. A sample is obtained from the wellbore during a drilling operation. A first test device tests the sample to obtain a first measurement of a parameter of the sample. The first measurement of the parameter is input to a second test of the sample performed at a second test device to obtain a second measurement of the parameter. A parameter of the developing operation is altered based on the second measurement of the parameter.
