Rock core drilling rig uncover clues that signal oil – rich rocks. Here’s how:​
  1. Check Porosity: Rock cores reveal how much space they have for oil. High porosity means more storage capacity.​
  1. Measure Permeability: This shows how easily oil can flow through the rock. Cores let geologists test this directly.​
  1. Spot Hydrocarbon Traces: Even tiny oil stains in cores matter. They prove that hydrocarbons once moved through the rock.rock core drilling rig​
These three factors guide explorers. A core with high porosity, good permeability, and hydrocarbon traces sparks excitement. It points to a potential oil reservoir worth chasing. Core rigs make this detective work possible.rock core drilling rig
