Globally recognized

Formation damage Experts

Most hydrocarbon reservoirs have been in a state of relative equilibrium for millions of years. In attempting to release hydrocarbons, well operations disturb the natural balance of ancient hydrocarbon bearing strata causing formation damage or stimulation. Formation Damage can occur during any stage of a well’s lifecycle. Failure to address this can result in missed opportunities, deferred production, lost production or injection. The global cost of Formation Damage is estimated as billions of dollars annually. Remedial operations producing even a 1.5% increase in permeability can unlock millions of dollars.

Corex is now a Premier Oilfield Group Company

Founded in the 1980s, COREX became one of the world’s leading independent core analysis providers before joining the Premier Oilfield Group in December 2016.

Premier inherited - and continues to grow - COREX centers of excellence in Aberdeen (Scotland) and Cairo (Egypt), as well as front-line laboratories in Noida (India), Basra (Iraq), Abu-Dhabi (UAE) and Al Ahmadi (Kuwait).

In addition to routine and special core analysis, Premier COREX is known as a pioneer in formation damage assessment, an area of continued global leadership within Premier today. Other services provided around the globe include reservoir geology and geochemistry, advanced imaging (NMR, µ-CT, SEM), PVT testing and analysis, and IOR/EOR testing and consultancy.

Premier is proud to build on the reputation of innovation and excellent customer service that COREX has established over 45+ years, supporting clients throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Far East, and Australia.
