CONVENTIONAL CORING AND CORE RECOVERY FOR OIL AND GAS RESERVOIRS
We recognize the investment operators make to recover high quality core from their reservoirs. ProDirectional delivers conventional coring services for oil and gas wells using a fully integrated approach that combines precision coring tools, downhole motors, MWD data, and Remote Operations Center oversight.
Our coring specialists work with your drilling and geology teams to design each coring program, evaluate formation risks, and maximize core recovery while minimizing operational exposure.
Using CoreSight™ real time downhole monitoring, we track formation response, coring progress, and drilling dynamics as the core is cut, allowing our engineers to optimize ROP, improve recovery, and protect your investment in every run.This integrated workflow supports conventional coring, sidewall coring, and coring retrieval to deliver the highest possible core recovery in every reservoir.
Coring Tools and Technologies for Conventional and Sidewall Coring
No two coring projects are alike. Each reservoir, formation, and well design presents unique technical challenges. ProDirectional provides a complete portfolio of conventional and sidewall coring tools, downhole motors, MWD systems, and remote monitoring technologies to support every coring application.
Our engineers work with your drilling and geology teams to design a coring program that maximizes core recovery while minimizing operational risk. Using real time downhole data and Remote Operations Center oversight, we continuously optimize tool selection, drilling parameters, and coring performance from surface to reservoir.
Advanced Coring Technologies for Conventional and Sidewall Coring
- High performance coring bits engineered for maximum recovery and formation integrity
- Custom coring BHA designs for hard, soft, and fractured reservoir formations
- On site core handling and preservation services to protect sample integrity and data quality
CoreSight™ patented real-time downhole coring dynamics
Provides real time downhole coring measurements including torque, vibration, and toolface to optimize core recovery and reduce drilling risk.
Jam Isolation System (JIS) with an industry-leading five-jam capacity
Prevents core barrel and coring tool jams without tripping, allowing continuous conventional and sidewall coring runs.
Precision Coring and Core Recovery You Can Trust
Reliable conventional and sidewall coring services backed by real-time downhole data.
Maximize Conventional Coring Value With Real Time Downhole Data
At ProDirectional, conventional coring is more than just recovering rock. It is about extracting maximum geological, petrophysical, and reservoir insight from every foot of core.
Our coring operations are supported by real time downhole measurements through CoreSight™, allowing our engineers to monitor coring dynamics, tool performance, and formation response while the core is being cut. This ensures optimal ROP, reduced risk of jamming, and improved core quality.
By combining experienced coring personnel with live downhole data and remote technical oversight, we deliver higher core recovery, better data integrity, and more reliable coring results across every formation.
Coring Runs Do Not Stop. Neither Does Our Remote Operations Center.
Coring operations are high-risk, high-value runs where any data loss, tool failure, or downtime can permanently compromise core recovery. ProDirectional’s Remote Operations Center provides continuous technical oversight and real-time CoreSight™ monitoring to protect every coring run from start to finish.
From downhole dynamics and jam detection to surface system performance and data integrity, our ROC ensures your coring operation remains stable, connected, and fully supported 24 hours a day.
Redundant Power for Uninterrupted Coring
Independent UPS and generator-backed systems ensure CoreSight™ and coring telemetry remain online during every core run.
Dual Data Paths for Live Coring Telemetry
Multiple fiber and carrier links protect real-time CoreSight™ and coring data from interruptions or signal loss.
Failover Protection for Critical Coring Runs
Automated failover systems protect coring data, control systems, and remote monitoring from outages or facility disruptions.
Extreme weather event protocols
Severe weather does not interrupt coring data, remote monitoring, or CoreSight™ decision support. Our Remote Operations Center maintains continuous oversight and technical support to protect every core run, even when field conditions deteriorate.
ProDirectional provides conventional coring services, sidewall coring, and coring retrieval across the major oil and gas basins in Texas, including the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Delaware Basin.
Our coring services support complex reservoir evaluation programs using real time CoreSight™ downhole data, jam isolation technology, and remote operations monitoring to maximize core recovery, reduce non productive time, and improve geological decision making.
