CoreAll successfully completed a Field Trial for Aker BP on the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 8. The trial included three runs from the seabed at 455m: two runs with combined drilling and coring and one extensive drilling run. This was the first trial offshore for CoreAll, and the first trial of the CoDril™ downhole convertible drill bit anywhere outside of test wells. The field trial was very successful with full LWC log recovery, core recovery and 9 CoDril activations. Based on this trial the ICS/LWC now is declared qualified for commercial service and the CoDril™ system is qualified for testing in actual reservoir condition. As the trials were performed in open water, from seabed, we are fortunate to present a ROV video of the conversion from drilling to coring here https://vimeo.com/964290302

Mobilizing a truckload of equipment to our USA partner. Three LWC tool, complete with core barrels, core bits and surface systems were shipped to US Coring in Conroe, Houston, Texas. CoreAll ICS/LWC services are now available at US Coring for operations anywhere in the USA. This marks a new milestone for CoreAll as we now are able to offer our services commercially through US Coring.

A contract has been signed with Neptune Energy Norge to support the eXRES R&D project for 2023. This confirms the great interest from key Norwegian operators to facilitate development of key technology for improving cost and efficiency in future coring operations. While reducing cost in oil & gas exploration drilling is important, the main motivation for Neptune Energy was to support their ambitions as a player in the CCUS market.

Today a partnership agreement was signed with US Coring in Conroe, Houston, Texas. This paves the way for offering CoreAll Intelligent Coring System and associated services to customers in the USA. This marks the first commercial agreement for CoreAll, and we are proud to be partnering with US Coring, a reputable coring company in the US.

Following the confirmed support from Aker BP and Gassnova/CLIMIT, the eXRES project now starts the next phase of developing and testing a lab prototype. The project will be executed with Rocky Point Energy Consultants as the main technology provider. 

Gassnova through its CLIMIT program supports R&D initiatives for CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage). The eXRES project as part of CoreAll’s initiatives has a great potential to reduce cost associated with coring operations, up to 40%-50% of the time and cost to drill and core a CCUS reservoir. CCUS prospects have substantial need for coring, both in the caprock, reservoir and bedrock, both to verify CO2 injection capabilities and the sealing capacity. Support from Gassnova / CLIMIT has a releasing effect on the eXRES project, which now can continue.

A contract has been signed with Aker BP to support the next phases of the eXRES External Resistivity project. Development of the eXRES is crucial for operators like Aker BP to take full advantage of the CoDril™ downhole convertible drill bit technology, enabling the operator to obtain continuous Gamma Ray and resistivity logs and both drilling and coring modes and make real-time decisions and when to core and when to drill. The next phases of the eXRES project are the development and testing of a lab prototype, and the development and testing of a field prototype. Support from Aker BP is instrumental to continuing the eXRES project.

A very successful well test was performed at X-rig of the CoDril™ downhole convertible drill bit. A 21m cement plug was installed in a shallow test well. The CoDril™ was surface tested to verify conversion between coring and drilling modes. The first 6m of cement was cored, then the CoDril™ was converted to drilling mode by simply sending a downlink with the mud pumps. 14m hard cement was drilled, then the system converted back to coring for the last 1m. Total achievement was 6m core, 14m drilled and 1m core, with 100% core recovery. This was the first time anywhere that a single system was used to perform 3 drilling operations without tripping, anywhere. The quality of the 6m core that was subject to hard drilling and the last 1m core which was not subject to drilling was the same.

CoreAll completed a field trial for ADNOC Onshore in Abu Dhabi in September 2024. This was the first core to be cut and retrieved in an actual wellbore with an instrumented coring system anywhere. The CoreAll Intelligent Coring System with the Logging While Coring was used. A 17ft core was cut in hard limestone and 100% core recovery achieved. Very important learning was achieved with regards to the Logging While Coring tool, and improvement opportunities identified. 

CoreAll is proud to announce Anna Radovanovic as the new Operations Manager for CoreAll. Anna is re-locating from Brazil where she was born and raised. Her last assignment was as a Wireline Field Engineer for Baker Hughes. Anna holds a MSc in Reservoir and Petroleum Engineering at UENF, Macaé (Brazil) and a Chemical Engineering Degree at UFPR, Curitiba (Brazil). Anna speaks 5 languages, and soon learning number 6 (Norwegian). She is making a bold move to a new world far away from home, and we are proud that she selected CoreAll as her next career step.

As part of the rigorous testing of the CoreAll downhole equipment, a coring test was performed on the X-rig outside Stavanger, Norway. The deepest test well on the rig was extended by coring basement rock at 466m to 468m. Very hard coring was performed, with ROP’s around 1m/hr. The core was successfully cut and retrieved and is being displayed at X-rig today. A special hard-rock core bit manufactured by Micon was used. The core bit was in remarkable shape after the coring and can be re-used without refurbishment. The core bit was scanned with the APIteq 3DRILL drill bit scanner to verify any damage (or absence thereof).

CoreAll is working on the development of a new resistivity sensor for the LWC Logging While Coring tool. The first phase of the project, a feasibility study, was completed on October 12. The study has been performed by Rocky Point Energy Consultants in Houston, Texas and confirms that it is possible to develop an electromagnetic wave resistivity tool for a Logging While Coring application. The eXRES External Resistivity will use traditional LWD technology to deliver resistivity in both coring and drilling modes, and in any mud type. The feasibility study was sponsored by Lundin Petroleum Norway.

CoreAll is proud to announce that Zvonimir Djerfi has joined the company Board of Directors. A true global leader, Mr. Djerfi has a passion for growing business, developing people and building high performing teams. He has played an important role in the energy service industry for more than 30 years, developing innovative customer solutions and providing reliable services through large, long term contracts. Mr. Djerfi's strong people networks across Europe, Asia-Pacific, USA, North Africa, the Mediterranean & the Middle East will benefit CoreAll in scaling our business internationally.

An extended IDD drilling test was performed in December at the Ullrigg well test facility in Stavanger, Norway. The U3 test well had been cemented back from 1135m to 1040m in preparation for the drill test, wherein the cement would be drilled to verify operational behavior, reliability and wear of the IDD convertible coring bit. The IDD was used for two consecutive runs to drill from 1040m to 1129m. A total of 89m was drilled in less than 2 hours, giving an
average ROP of 45 m/hr.

CoreAll is proud to announce the addition of Stefania Bianchi to the team as Operations Manager. Ms. Bianchi holds an MSc/ Civil Engineering degree from Politecnico di Milano and comes with more than 10 years of industry experience. Formerly an operations coordinator for Baker Hughes in Pescara, Italy, she made the bold move to Norway in the middle of a global pandemic - much to the fortune of CoreAll!

CoreAll's much-anticipated Internal Drilling Device (IDD) had its first, full-scale prototype test in November 2020. The IDD allows the coring BHA to be used for full diameter drilling over shorter distances, enabling the operator to save round-trips when changing between drilling to coring. The test comprised function testing of the electronics, intregrated mechanical systems, and also a short, horizontal drilling test. The test was seen as a considerable success, surpassing the expectations for a first prototype.

The patent for CoreAll's Intelligent Coring System has - at long last - been approved also by Brazilian patent authorities. With this, CoreAll now has full intellectual property rights in all our major markets.

CoreAll is a proud sponsor of young, talented rally driver Christian Hobæk. Tomorrow the season finally kicks off. Fingers crossed for great success!

The Journal of Petroleum Technology, a well-known publication by the Society of Petroleum Engineers International (SPE), has released a feature article about the Intelligent Coring System. "Norwegian company adds smarts to offshore coring," writes JPT Digital Editor, Trent Jacobs.

An interview with CoreAll founder and inventor of the Intelligent Coring System, Mr. Per Erik Berger, was featured this morning in Norwegian technical news publication Teknisk Ukeblad.   "Drilling Engineer [...] challenges the oil service majors with his new invention".

CoreAll has been selected as a recipient of the 2018 Spotlight on New Technology® Award for Small Businesses. Each year, the Offshore Technology Conference recognizes innovative technologies with the Spotlight award, showcasing the latest and most advanced hardware and software technologies that are leading the industry into the future. The award is given for the Intelligent Coring System, one of the first core drilling technologies to provide real time formation evaluation and downhole diagnostics data while coring. 

CoreAll's patent application for the Intelligent Coring System has been approved by U.S. patent authorities. The patent has by now been accepted by the Nordic, European, Saudi Arabian and United States patent offices.

The Intelligent Coring System (ICS) was recently tested in a shallow well at Xrig, Ålgård Technology Park, Norway. Coring cement in a pre-drilled wellbore, the system provided 100% core recovery in three out of four runs, all the while delivering gamma ray and resistivity data to surface in real time with 100% data decoding.

In addition to formation and fluid logging data, a novel measurement of inner barrel relative rotation was transmitted. These data proved very valuable in the diagnostics of downhole conditions and coring efficiency, allowing earlier and more precise adjustment of operational parameters

​

DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG has joined the Intelligent Coring System development program through its subsidiary DEA Norge AS. An international exploration and production company with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, DEA has had a presence on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for over 40 years.
