Coring process step by step

How does coring work?

We often talk about core being the only ground-truth data from the subsurface, but how is core cut from a well at kilometres depth? With many geologists being stuck to a desk these days, we thought it would be good to show how a coring assembly looks like and what the most important elements are. So, we headed to Reservoir Group’s coring warehouse and workshop in Aberdeenshire where Steve Rait – coring manager Europe – explained us how an assembly looks like and how the process of getting the rocks out of the ground really works. After watching this video, you will have a much better handle on the various terms used for the coring process.
