  Core Handling and Preservation

  Well-site core handling and preservation procedures should follow the best possible practices because the value of all rock characterization is affected by these initial operations. The objectives of a core handling program are to obtain rock material representative of the formation and to minimize physical alteration of the rock during handling and storage. The major problems confronting those who handle and preserve reservoir rocks for rock characterization are selection of a non-reactive preservation material, and preventing fluid loss or the adsorption of contaminants. Further, the operator must specify appropriate core handling and preservation methods based upon rock type, degree of consolidation and fluid type.

  
  

  CoreServ specialized in all wellsite core handling services through our brand, covering classic operations such as marking up the core, cutting into shorter sections and boxing samples into special core containers monitored for shock recording. In addition we provide services related to core processing, including gamma logging, preservation, plugging, slabbing, core photography, stabilization and more.

  
  

  Services such as probe permeability and thin section preparation, along with other analytical work, are available via a fully-equipped portable core processing module.
