Mission Statement

To provide leading technologies and personnel specializing in high quality Core Handling procedures.
Our priority is to safeguard the core from any unnecessary damage. Our constantly evolving technology guarantees leading preservation and core tracking performance throughout the cores  transit from reaching the surface at the wellsite to its arrival at the laboratory.
All methods and recommendations are based on our extensive experience in the field of international core handling, analysis and research, with particular involvement in friable and soft sediments.

To provide leading technologies and personnel specializing in high quality Core Analysis procedures. 
Kirk Petrophysics offers a selection of core analyses. Both mineral and hydrocarbon components can be analysed. Kirk Petrophysics laboratories offer analyses such as porosity, permeability, grain density, thin section preparation, petrography, sedimentology, bitumen content, metal content, water content, cations and anions, clay content and carbonate content, amongst others. 

To provide leading technologies and personnel specializing in high quality Core Storage services to a global client base.
Kirk Petrophysics has extensive storage facilities in London and Aberdeen to safely and securely store your core samples. Bespoke data management software allows detailed identification and tracking of all sample material and is supported by a robust QA program. Kirk Petrophysics also provides maintenance by way of condition assessment and remediation, data access (iAsset), legislative compliance (DECC), Sampling and sample transfer, core viewings and workshops amongst others.

Kirk will keep your core safe

Objectives

It has been widely acknowledged for some time that core handling is critical to the retention of core integrity.

Unfortunately, not all cores undergo the necessary procedure to ensure that quality analysis can subsequently be obtained from the core samples.

To this end, Kirk Petrophysics offers you the most up to date methods of core stabilization and core handling processes along with expert supervision and quality control of the handling at well site and laboratory, if required.

Independent reports and recommendations are submitted to ensure up to date knowledge and development of techniques, ultimately leading towards obtaining high quality reservoir data.

All our methods and recommendations are based on our extensive experience in the field of international core analysis, with particular involvement in friable/soft sediment handling, analysis and research.
