MetaRock has years of experience conducting routine core analysis — measurements on core plugs or whole core including porosity, grain density, permeability, and fluid saturation determination.
From core storage and photography through to sample drilling, we take particular care over core preparation and handling, because the core is the most direct representation of the reservoir available.
For sample drilling we use a purpose-built press capable of drilling a wide range of rock types.
The press applies hydrostatic stress to the core while drilling, and combined with our in-house capability to apply hydrostatic stress, this raises plugging success rates considerably.
Both techniques matter most with shale plugs, which part along bedding and laminations easily.
