The HWL3 Core Catcher is an essential component in geotechnical and exploration drilling systems, designed to capture and secure core samples during the drilling process. Tailored for compatibility with HWL3-sized drill rods, this specialized core catcher enhances the efficiency and reliability of core recovery operations.
This Core Catcher is from our "Set To Liner" or "Triple Tube" Wireline models, meaning the casing string that does not extend to the top of the wellbore, but instead is anchored or suspended from inside the bottom of the previous casing string.
Key Functions:
-
Efficient Core Collection: The HWL3 Core Catcher is engineered to efficiently capture and retain core samples as they are extracted from the wellbore. It plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of geological specimens during retrieval.
-
Compatibility: Specifically designed for HWL3-sized drill rods, the Core Catcher ensures a secure and standardized connection within the drilling system. This compatibility contributes to the seamless integration of the core catcher during drilling operations.
-
Protective Enclosure: Serving as a protective enclosure, the Core Catcher shields core samples from potential damage or contamination during their ascent to the surface. This is essential for maintaining the accuracy of geological data.
-
Easy Handling: Designed for ease of use, the HWL3 Core Catcher facilitates straightforward handling during core recovery operations. Its user-friendly design contributes to the overall efficiency of the drilling process.
-
Durable Construction: Crafted from durable materials, the Core Catcher is built to withstand the challenging conditions encountered in drilling operations. Its robust construction ensures longevity and reliable performance in diverse geological formations.
-
Optimized Design: The design of the HWL3 Core Catcher is optimized for efficient and secure core retention, minimizing the risk of sample loss and maximizing the success of core recovery efforts.
HWL Core Barrel
An HWL core barrel typically comprises key components, including an outer tube, inner tube, and a core lifter. The core lifter is a crucial mechanism designed to securely hold and extract the core sample from the geological formation. The inner tube is used to collect the core sample, while the outer tube provides protection to the core sample during drilling and retrieval. HWL core barrels adhere to specific dimensions, with an inner tube diameter of approximately 3.0 inches (76.2 millimetres).
This standardized size allows HWL core barrels to be compatible with a variety of drilling equipment and systems. HWL core barrels are commonly used in drilling projects related to geological exploration, mineral sampling, geotechnical investigations, and other applications that require a moderately-sized core sample for analysis.
