Core logging

What Is Core Logging?

Core logging is more than a study; it is the fundamental process of deciphering the earth’s history. By extracting physical rock samples, we obtain a continuous geological record, a direct level of insight that digital sensors alone cannot match. This raw data forms the backbone of critical decision-making for energy and mining projects worldwide. At Elyteq, we transform raw material into actionable intelligence through a rigorous analysis that provides the structured data needed to master lithology and reservoir characteristics. By eliminating geological uncertainty, we empower our clients to optimize operations with total confidence. Our expertise extends to the field where specialized Mud Logging Units, equipped with advanced sensors and on-site laboratories, allow our geologists to identify reservoirs and monitor site safety in real time, providing the high-resolution data stream necessary for safe, informed, and efficient drilling.

Our expertise extends to the field with specialized Mud Logging Units. Equipped with advanced sensors and full on-site laboratories, these units allow our geologists to identify reservoirs and monitor site safety in real time. We provide the high-resolution data stream necessary for safe, informed, and efficient drilling.

Geological Description

Our teams perform detailed geological descriptions of core samples directly on site. This includes the identification of lithology, texture, color, fractures, and porosity. By carefully examining each core section, we provide a clear and structured understanding of subsurface formations, helping to identify key geological features and potential reservoirs.

Data Recording & Reporting

All observations are systematically recorded using standardized logging methods to ensure consistency and reliability. Elyteq delivers structured and high-quality datasets, enabling accurate interpretation and facilitating decision-making for project stakeholders. Our reporting ensures that all relevant geological information is clearly documented and easily accessible.

Field Setup

To guarantee optimal working conditions, Elyteq installs a dedicated and organized logging area on site. This setup is designed to ensure efficient core handling, accurate analysis, and safe operations, even in challenging environments. Our field infrastructure supports continuous and structured logging activities throughout the drilling process.

Equipment Provided

Elyteq supplies all the necessary equipment required to perform efficient and professional core logging operations:Logging cabin (8m x 2.5m), providing a controlled working environment

  • PVC tent for protection against external conditions

  • Core logging table designed for precise sample handling

  • Core boxes for organized storage and transport

  • Full set of geological tools for detailed analysis

    • To turn these geological insights into operational success, our wellsite geologists provide expert oversight directly at the rig.
