Business challenge

Drill core and bore hole cuttings are extremely valuable and should be retained whenever possible, yet you’re being pressured to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs like never before. You need to reduce the time, effort and expense associated with managing your core assets, while keeping the material secure, protected and private. Your geoscientists and technicians need access to the material for reservoir modeling and drilling strategy. Additionally, the application of technologies such as CT scanning, is adding significant value to drill core analysis, but only if you have the core.

How this affects you

  • You understand the tremendous value that drill core and cuttings contribute to strategic decisions. You’re challenged to have space available for archiving core, yet you know that you need to retain and protect it.
  • You need to avoid additional capital costs and minimize the operating cost of storing drill core samples.
  • You need to have your drill core and cuttings securely maintained, easily available and conveniently located.

What if you could...

  • Preserve the value of your drill core and cuttings and have them readily available for business decisions?
  • Conveniently access your core samples in a comfortable and secure environment close to laboratories?
  • Repurpose your newly available space and lower your capital and operating costs?
