Electromagnetic 3D scanning compares drill core and tray surfaces to measure fragmented or non-cylindrical sample volume accurately.
Integrated sensors and wireless data transfer capture core orientation down hole without extra drill string elements or frequent bit withdrawal.
Integrated sensors and wireless data transfer capture core orientation during drilling, avoiding bit withdrawal and reducing downtime.
Sensors measure relative rotation between the outer drill bit and inner barrel to prevent core fracturing during drilling operations.
Segmented core barrel with piston relief prevents fluid loss from high-pressure wellbores by isolating the sample from overpressure events.
Sliding coupling tube adjusts mandrel length in the coring assembly, balancing fluid pressure between chambers without removing lubricant.
Segmented inner sleeves with varying wall thicknesses break at designated points during compressive loads, maintaining core integrity in deep wells.
A coring tool design positions a sponge material to surround the core sample with a controlled radial gap.
