CoreAll is Norwegian technology company offering the next generation core drilling solutions.

​

Core drilling, i.e. extracting continuous rock samples from the subsurface, is a central part of petroleum exploration drilling, providing essential information about the rock properties and the reservoir potential. This information is later used to determine drainage strategies and field development plans.

​

Core samples is also an important source of information i Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects, where the core information is used to understand the reservoir capacity in terms of CO2 injection, as well as documenting that the sealing rock above and below the CO2 reservoir are tight and not leaking.

In Geothermal applications coring is important for mapping of the underground reservoir so the wells can be designed and drilled in the optimum direction and distance for maximum energy absorption.

 

Although core drilling has been around for many decades, some challenges still remain. These include a lack of real-time information about the subsurface; time lag between drilling of the geological formations and downhole logging of their properties; and time-consuming round trips to change between core drilling and conventional drilling equipment. CoreAll's Intelligent Coring System addresses these shortcomings.
