✅ xOptim™CoR – Optimize Core Retrieval & Protection
This module is an advanced coring optimization module developed by SEDA Group to optimize coring operations and core retrieval in oil & gas & and geothermal wells while minimizing operational cost and preserving core integrity.
The system is engineered to reduce unnecessary tripping time and cost, while preventing mechanical core damage and pressure-induced fluid rush from oil and gas cores. By controlling pressure, drawdown, and retrieval dynamics, xOptim™CoR mitigates rapid fluid expansion that can induce unwanted fractures—ensuring cores remain intact and suitable for high-quality laboratory analysis.
