X-Ray Diffraction Results

(OP)
I do have the following results when we did an x-ray diffraction on a down hole sample.

Quartz (SlO2)                 Trace
Calcite  (CaCO3)             Trace
Barite (BaSO4)                Trace
Mackinawite (FeSO9)          70%
Troilite  ( FeS)              30%

What do I make out of it?  Please educate...
