GoFrac™ Advanced Coring
Where Conventional
Systems Fail,
GoFrac™ Performs
Specifically engineered for highly fractured, unstable, and complex formations. GoFrac™ technologies enhance core recovery while preserving sample integrity under the most challenging downhole conditions.
GoFrac™ Technologies
Three Mechanisms.
One Hostile Formation Problem.
Low-Invasion System
Low-Invasion Coring Systems
Designed to protect formation integrity and minimize fluid interaction during core acquisition. By reducing drilling fluid invasion into the sample, these systems preserve original pore fluid saturation and rock fabric, producing samples that more accurately represent in-situ reservoir conditions. Critical for accurate permeability and saturation measurements.
Jam Mitigation
Advanced Anti-Jamming Mechanisms
Jamming is the leading cause of coring failure in complex formations. GoFrac™ anti-jamming technology actively detects and mitigates core entry blockages, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted coring operations through fractured intervals, interbedded formations, and transitions between hard and soft rock. Fewer jams mean fewer runs and lower NPT.
Core Protection
Specialized Core Protection Tools
Purpose-built for fragile, fractured, and unconsolidated formations where standard catchers lose sample. Engineered capture and containment mechanisms secure the core through the full trip to surface, preventing loss from washing, disintegration, and mechanical disturbance. The sample that enters the barrel is the sample that reaches the lab.
Key Advantages
Built for What Others
Cannot Core
Fractured Reservoirs
Optimized Performance in Highly Fractured Formations
System mechanics are calibrated for the unpredictability of naturally fractured rock, maintaining coring continuity where standard tools stall or jam.
Recovery Rate
Maximized Core Recovery with Improved Sample Representativeness
Every GoFrac™ run is planned to capture more of the target interval intact, reducing partial or failed runs that compromise reservoir characterization.
Non-Productive Time
Significant Reduction in Operational Time and NPT
Anti-jamming and full-capture mechanisms eliminate the need for repeat runs, cutting total coring time and associated rig costs on complex wells.
Operational Risk
Lower Operational Risks and Enhanced Drilling Efficiency
Formation-specific tool selection and pre-well engineering reduce the probability of stuck pipe, core loss, and downhole equipment incidents.
Sample Quality
High-Quality Samples Suitable for Accurate Laboratory Analysis
Low-invasion and core protection technologies preserve the sample state required for valid porosity, permeability, saturation, and geomechanical testing.
Client Value
Overcome Formation Complexity. Recover Reliable Data.
Formation Confidence
GoFrac™ enables operators to core formations that would defeat standard systems, converting previously unrecoverable intervals into usable reservoir data for evaluation and field development planning.
Reduced Operational Delays
Anti-jamming mechanisms and proven tool selection reduce the multi-run scenarios that drive well cost overruns. A single successful coring run recovers more of the target interval with fewer interventions.
Reservoir Evaluation Quality
Sample integrity preserved through low-invasion and core protection technology translates directly into more accurate laboratory results, improving the confidence of reserve estimates and completion strategy decisions.
