CORE ANALYSIS
Better reservoir decisions begin with trusted core data.
Premier Corex combines routine and special core analysis, advanced laboratory capabilities and technical expertise to deliver reliable measurements that reduce subsurface uncertainty throughout the asset lifecycle.
The Challenge
Inaccurate measurements, poor sample preservation or incomplete testing programmes can introduce uncertainty into geological models, reservoir simulations and field development decisions.
Every core represents a valuable opportunity to understand the reservoir. Maximising that opportunity requires high-quality laboratory testing, technical expertise and an integrated approach.
Reliable reservoir characterisation begins with reliable data.
Our Solution
We deliver integrated routine and special core analysis programmes that generate reliable reservoir data throughout the asset lifecycle.
From wellsite core handling and preservation through to advanced laboratory testing and technical interpretation, our specialists work alongside operators to deliver the information needed for confident technical and commercial decisions.
