How Core Rigs Help Evaluate Shale Oil Reserves

Shale oil reserves need special evaluation. Rock core drilling rig are up to the task.
  1. Measure Organic Content: Cores from shale layers show how much organic material exists. More means more potential oil.
  1. Check Rock Brittleness: Shale must crack to release oil. Core tests reveal how easily it fractures.
  1. Map Fracture Networks: Cores show natural cracks. These guide where to frack later.
Shale oil has changed global energy markets. Rock core drilling rig make unlocking these reserves possible. They provide the data needed to plan successful shale projects.
