We offer coring services to obtain Open core and Isolated core using inner aluminum coring pipes.

Using aluminum core pipes has the following benefits:
Aluminum provides easy core entry with little friction;
Coring in soft and loose rocks;
Core protection against direct contacts with drilling mud;
Used as a container for transportation.
