Did you attend the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) 65th Annual Symposium 2024? It was a full week of technical presentations from Allen Britton, Katrina Cox, Kristopher Farmer, and Harry Xie highlighting recent research, advancements, and applications involving petrophysics.  #SPWLABrazil #CoreLaboratories #CoreLab #NMR #PRISM #DigitalRocks #CorePredict #Core2Pore // SPWLA Brazil Chapter

URTeC starts today, 6/17 and through Wednesday, 6/19. If you are attending the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC), we would like to welcome you to the Core Lab booth (#409 –straight down the aisle from the main entrance to the exhibit hall). Our team will be sharing examples of recent work with clients around topics such as perforating strategies, pre-frac reservoir evaluation, completion efficiency, and production analysis. Visit us, rest your feet, charge your phone, and join the discussion! We’re also excited to share that as a Sapphire sponsor we are providing the Core Exhibits for viewing at booth #1109. You can see core samples from around North America and discover the true variability of these tight reservoirs. And please join the ProTechTalk Panel Discussion on Tuesday, 6/18 to hear Core Lab’s ProTechnics Manager Aaron Burton speak on the topic of “Optimizing Completion Placement: Strategies for Effective Zonal Containment.” #CoreLab #ProTechnics #URTeC2024

Thank you Society of Petroleum Engineers - SPE GCS Gulf Coast Section for recognizing us with your 2024 Regional Distinguished Corporate Support Award. Established in 1935, the SPE-GCS is one of the largest and most active of Society of Petroleum Engineers International sections across 145 countries, and we're proud to be an active participant. @https://lnkd.in/gJz98rtw https://lnkd.in/gndvjV_v #corelab #spe Swathika J.

Are you a member of the Stim-Lab consortium? If so, you can access Core Lab's Predict-K fracture modeling software for free!   Predict-K is your go-to analytical model for evaluating well performance and incorporates more than 35 years of Consortium research on proppants and frac fluids. This member-only benefit allows for fast assessments of various factors affecting well performance.   Predict-K incorporates critical damage mechanisms like time at stress, frac fluid damage, multiphase flow, and more and includes various types and sizes of ceramic proppants, white sands, brown sands, and regional in-basin sands tested by the Stim-Lab consortium.   More information on the full capabilities of Predict-K can be found at https://lnkd.in/ggmczHXT   If you are unsure of your company's consortium membership status or have questions about Predict-k, drop us a note! https://lnkd.in/gyZXWyQN #OilAndGas #FracTechnology #ProppantPerformance #ConductivityStudies #ReservoirManagement #ProppantBehavior #FracFluids #EnergyResearch #ConsortiumAnalysis

Congratulations to Harry Xie and Omar Reffell for receiving the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) award for “Outstanding Petrophysics Journal Papers 2024. This prize-winning article reviews the importance and advantages of the use of the laboratory higher frequency (HF), e.g., 23 MHz, NMR systems, and 2D mapping techniques for identifying and quantifying different forms of water and hydrocarbons in unconventional shale core samples. Within the paper, examples of applications are given to demonstrate the measurements of saturations, activation energy of hydrocarbons, mobility of oil, and kerogen maturity in shales. As Core Laboratories continues to innovate and develop new technologies, some of which are exhibited in the paper, we will remain intuitively focused on delivering products to the marketplace that enable our customers to achieve their objectives.  _____ Dr. Xie is a global Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) expert and pioneer in developing Higher Frequency (HF) NMR techniques and applications that ushered in a new paradigm in the unconventional tight rock space. Utilizing HF NMR instruments designed and built by Dr. Xie, a fit-for-purpose technology for tight rocks entered the unconventional space.  Omar Reffell developed an integrated workflow PRISM, integrating HF NMR technology with classical routine unconventional analytical techniques, geochemistry, and mineralogy. Core Laboratories has moved the novel NMR rock characterization methods from a specialty space into a widely accepted industry “routine” practice. PRISM workflows have received rapid adaptation in the U.S. market and have been integrated into characterization workflows to analyze rocks from around the world.

Core Laboratories and PETROCI are pleased to present our latest collaborative REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL STUDY of the IVORIAN MARGIN. This Côte d’Ivoire Phase IV (2024) project adds 27 new study wells to our existing 96 well database, incorporating stratigraphy, sedimentology, petrography, rock properties, geochemistry and paleogeography mapping. Project database includes extensive cored sections and sidewall core samples from key deepwater and shelfal wells in undeveloped oil & gas fields. For more details connect with Scott Parker and Anne McAfee at the upcoming Africa Energies Summit May 16-18th.

Core Laboratories invites you to join us for the Woodford-Barnett Consortium Workshop on May 21st at our Advanced Technology Center in Houston, TX. As the Wolfcamp, Spraberry, and Bone Spring drilling inventories mature in the Permian Basin, the time has come for the industry to shift its focus to the hydrocarbon potential of the Woodford and Barnett formations. This Consortium Workshop will highlight the key characteristics that have made the Barnett and Woodford so successful in the Fort Worth and Oklahoma basins, and how to apply those insights to exploration programs in the Permian Basin. Our study leverages an extensive dataset, including over 9,000 feet of conventional core, to highlight the striking similarities and key differences among the Permian Basin, Oklahoma, and Ft. Worth Basins. This comprehensive analytical program encompasses sedimentologic description, thin section and scanning electron petrography, X-ray diffraction mineralogy, porosity, permeability, organic content, rock eval pyrolysis, organic maturity, and advanced testing, including geomechanics and fluid sensitivity. If you're not already a member of the consortium, we invite you to join and attend the upcoming workshop.

Core Laboratories recently hosted our biannual Stim-Lab Consortium meeting in Houston, TX which brought together 28 member companies for discussion around advancements in hydraulic fracturing. During this meeting, we explored critical topics such as closure stress effects on clean-up, wet sand dynamics, what is 100 mesh, and unpropped fracture conductivity, all of which are vital for optimizing recovery from hydraulically fractured oil and gas wells. As the longest-running consortium in the industry, we continue to push boundaries and drive innovation! Join today to gain a competitive edge in the field with immediate access to over 35 years of cutting-edge research and studies.
