Get core analysis accuracy with high-quality samples
With sidewall coring, numerous undistorted core samples can be easily acquired in a single run, providing samples for a range of petrophysical testing and analysis. Core analysis enables a better understanding of well conditions and estimating storage characteristics of the matrix. This information can significantly enhance economic value and reduce exploration and development risk for our customers.
Our line of coring tools provides undisturbed, undamaged samples, free of micro-fractures, for the most accurate core analysis.
Formation evaluation tools for extreme environments
In some drilling environments, conditions are such that special formation evaluation tools must be used that can withstand them. We have the tools that can reliably provide the measurements needed in extreme temperatures or pressures, or both.
Our Reservoir Description Tool (RDT™) employs several best-in-class features to help you run wireline formation pressure testing and sampling quickly in a single descent.
CoreVault® System
The CoreVault® System keeps rock samples in a sealed container, so 100% of the fluid in the core sample will be preserved for analysis.
Built into the next generation of the proven Xaminer™ Coring Tool, the CoreVault® system can capture up to ten samples in a sealed container – in one run.
The container prevents reservoir fluids from escaping during core retrieval and transport.
Challenge:
Returning samples to surface without losing fluids.
As traditional samples move from a high-pressure reservoir to the surface, hydrocarbons escape from the sample cores.
This can lead to uncertainty during analysis and inaccurate estimates of the type and volume of hydrocarbons in the reservoir, leading to uncertainty in economic evaluation.
Solution: Watch the CoreVault Webinar
The new CoreVault system seals samples in pressure-tight containers before bringing them to surface. This keeps the fluids in place and enables accurate measurements instead of estimates, resulting in better information for making critical decisions about the reservoir.
Rotary Sidewall Coring (RSCT™) Tool
Easily Acquire Up to 60 Undistorted Core Samples in a Single Pass
The RSCT tool is deployed on wire into the borehole and, when on-depth, a computerized surface system is used to extend a small coring bit into the formation. Name the formation – and the Rotary Sidewall Coring (RSCT™) Tool can acquire up to 60 core samples in a single run, giving you undistorted samples for a range of petrophysical testing and analysis. The industry-leading RSCT tool drills perpendicular to the bore hole to recover cores in a wide range of hard rock or soft rock formations. Easily managed by a two-man team, the tool‘s gamma ray positioning and continuous monitoring provide accurate core point location.
The business end of the RSCT tool (pictured here) is a diamond bit rotating at 2,000 RPM that cuts a 15/16-in OD, I-3/4 in. long core. After the sample has been cut, a slight vertical movement of the bit breaks the core sample. The sample is then withdrawn into the tool, and the core is punched into a receiver tube. An indicator reveals both the existence and length of the sample. The tool is then ready for the next selected core point. The RCST tool can be run on Toolpusher™ coiled tubing or as a stand-alone tool on third-party logging units.
Xaminer™ Coring Tool
New sidewall coring tool provides larger cores and better samples
Halliburton recently introduced its latest sidewall coring tool, the Xaminer™ Coring tool. This versatile, reliable coring tool is a new approach for acquiring multiple sidewall core samples. It is efficiently designed to provide a combination of high-speed bit rotation, torque and bit advancement for the best drilling performance.
The tool provides undamaged core samples that can easily be acquired in a single run for a range of testing and analysis. Core samples are 1.5 inches in diameter and up to 2.4 inches in length, giving clients a sample more than three times larger than other sidewall coring tools.
