Measurements acquired from Core provide the only direct quantitative measurement of reservoir properties and therefore represents a resource of immense and enduring value.

Effective planning, management and integration of Core derived data forms a critical part of any reservoir evaluation. Inappropriate and unfocused core analysis may fail to provide the information required to aid the understanding of the reservoir and its properties.

Planning, management and integration of Core related studies requires specialist knowledge. Industry professionals who are tasked with managing Core acquisition and subsequent studies may lack specific expertise or more commonly have insufficient time to ensure these activities are performed effectively. Core related studies cannot be considered fixed but must be flexible to accommodate changes based on new information originating from many sources.

Core Specialist Services provides a comprehensive range of services focusing on design, management and integration of all core related studies.
