iCore® Information

Seeing is believing - Redefining the economics of formation evaluation.

The crux of coring is to understand what happens inside the barrel during the core cutting process. This primarily concerns the ability to identify core jamming which can be difficult to detect from the surface. As a result, it can jeopardise the quality and the recovery of the core sample.

With the introduction of iCore®, Corpro® is moving towards trouble-free coring runs with improved recovery and core value. Furthermore, by analysing what is happening downhole, iCore® offers the opportunity to optimise barrel length and maximise quality recovery. This totally redefines the economics of formation evaluation through coring.

iCore® is a major breakthrough in the coring industry.

Until now, it was difficult for coring engineers to fully evaluate the impact of coring parameters on the core. iCore® provides the solution needed to fine tune their approach. With well geometries becoming more complex and operating costs continuing to grow, iCore® offers operators the solution to maximise coring efficiency as well as core quality.

iCore® is a significant game changer in the world of formation evaluation. By understanding what is happening inside the barrel and offering a substantial cost-effective solution, coring system designs and operating procedures will be improved and subsequently, run length will be extended, making coring an increasingly viable and economic formation evaluation technology.
