Quick Core 76™ is a slim hole wire line coring system. Utilizing common drill pipe allows the system to be used on any type of drilling rig. The system specializes in unconsolidated formations utilizing a disposable inner tube that houses the core.
Quick Core 76™ Slim hole Wireline coring system
Overview
As projects grow there was a need to develop a better slim hole coring system. Historically, core size was small in available systems and core length was kept short due to equipment restrictions. The need to develop a system that could cut longer cores and achieve a larger core size in slim hole applications was needed. The result was tools capable of cutting a 76mm (3") core in 9m (30ft) lengths in slim hole well designs. The system uses a consumable aluminium inner barrel that is cut and capped on surface. This barrel acts as a container from the core and leaves it in an undisturbed state until it arrives at the lab for analysis.
Features
Quick Core 76™ is a slim hole wire line coring system. Utilizing common drill pipe allows the system to be used on any type of drilling rig. The system specializes in unconsolidated formations utilizing a disposable inner tube that houses the core. The Quick Core 76™ is equipped with a drill ahead feature capable of drilling out casing shoes, between core points, or to TD the well all without tripping the drill string.
Utilises the QC 5⅛ core barrel platform in modular 30 ft. sections equipped heavy duty thread connections
Disposable Aluminum inner barrels
Utilises a dual catcher system comprised of a spring and finger basket for aided recovery
The Quick Lead Setter (QLS) allows fast and accurate lead setting for reduced fluid invasion and rig time
Applications
Slim hole wells where larger core size is necessary for proper evaluation
Formations requiring horizontal recovery
Containerised formations
Long core intervals
Benefits
Developed to deliver larger 3” (76mm) core in 6 ¼" (159mm) hole size at depths under 1000m.
Hydro or hydro mechanical latching depending on formation characteristics
QuickSeat jam detection prevents milling of the core and ensures high recovery rates
Short wait time between cores
