The processing of core is a multitask operation and the core technician cleans the laid down core barrels, measure and mark them by using permanent marker with depth to the end of the core (in the catcher), section or sample numbers and cut line if required.

Then the technician measures and records with the core gamma surface logger the natural gamma radiation in core sections. The core gamma log is most commonly used for correlation purposes and to distinguish different lithological units.

Once the Geologist has confirmed the core gamma data the core gets sawn into manageable lengths with our state of the art air operated horizontal band saw and stored on the core rack.
