Introduction
Types of Damage due to Coring and Core Handling
Fractures during drilling-inner barrel rotation
Loss of core prior to entering core barrel
Dilation / gas expansion during tripping out
Loss of core during tripping out
Mechanical damage during the pipe tripping process
Mechanical damage during recovery at surface (rotation, shock and
flexure)

Planning
Designed based on local PVT data (Bubble point, Bo, Rs, reservoir
pressure and temperature, range of permeability, etc),
Reduce risks of core damage due to gas expansion

Leading to:
Increase Bit Life
Improve Core Recovery
Improve Core Quality
Thrust Bearing
To provide an efficient rotational
independence between the inner
and outer barrel
Spiral Blades
To ensure the best stabilisation of
the corehead
Controlled
Spacing
To guarantee a minimal flow in
the throat
Deflection Angle
Direct the flow towards the OD
of the hole, away from the core
Throat Ports
Inner Gauge
As short as possible to
minimise any further
damage to the core one it
has been cut
