Our experience includes well site supervision, geological consulting and open hole logging supervision for oil sands coring projects in northern Alberta. Coring operations generally occur in the winter months, as the frozen ground conditions permit the operation of rigs and support equipment to remote areas of the oil sands. Supervision of drilling, coring and logging places emphasis on correct formation depth estimates and efficiently of recovery in order to obtain a high percentage of core retrieved. Core samples extracted are immediately evaluated to determine the depth and quality of oil sands prior to being sent for laboratory analysis.
