Coring In Oil & Gas Drilling Animation | Oil & Gas Exploration Animation | Petrosains Museum | I3D

Industrial3D had the privilege of building a series of engineering, oil and gas exploration, and explainer animations for Petrosains Museum. This oil and gas exploration animation explains the coring process for oil and gas exploration.

Coring is an important process in oil and gas exploration. It refers to the collecting of samples from deep inside the Earth’s crust to determine the existence of oil or natural gas. A rock formation suspected of containing oil and gas is drilled using a special coring bit. The coring bit is hollow, allowing it to collect a cylindrical sample of the formation, called a core. The core is removed from the borehole and checked for signs of oil and natural gas. A core is usually 30 feet long. If the borehole already exists, a sidewall core can be taken. A Sidewall Coring Gun is lowered into the hole using a wireline. It shoots hollow “bullets” into the formation. These small core samples are about 2” long. If the formation is hard, a rotary sidewall core can be drilled into the rock. Finally, these sample cores are put under fluorescent light. Traces of oil and gas, if they exist, will glow.
