- Detailed, fully-digital, core descriptions and interpretations (including descriptions/interpretations of texture, grain size, sorting, sedimentary and biogenic structures, facies, composition, cementation, hydrocarbon occurrence, flow units, significant surfaces, fractures, faults, dip, etc., as appropriate)
- Integration of routine (e.g., fluid saturation, grain density) and special (SCAL) core analyses, core photographs, core gamma-ray logs, wireline logs, image logs, dip data, XRD data, SEM data, petrographic data, RockEval/TOC data, pressure data, perforation and production data, etc.
- Integration of depth-registered standard core box photos
- Conversion of core photos to wireline logs (this is a powerful analytical tool)
- Close-up, detailed photographs of select core features
- Core-to-Log integration, including depth-shifting of all core data (preserving both core and log depths as separate depth columns)
- Exporting core data (e.g., grain size, depofacies, lithofacies, composition, primary sedimentary features, etc.) into spreadsheets as point data and/or interval data
- Converting old core descriptions to modern digital format
- Documentation in reports and presentations (standard reports are fully digital, with hyperlinked figures and tables)
- Training in digital core-description methods
- Core Description LLC prepares customized core description templates for each specific project; templates are commonly modified as each project progresses and evolves
