The standard machine comes with a floor standing drill press, a rotary union, a coolant feeding system, a coolant recovery pan with splash guard and a core clamping vise. The union permits to connect the coring bit to the drill press and feed coolant to the coring bit. The vise assembly can be mounted on the pan table and allows for the positioning of the core. Various sizes of coring bits as well as the recirculating coolant system are available. Coring bit internal diameter: 1", 1.5", 2" Maximum coring depth: 5 inches (12.5 cm) Drip pan dimension: L x W x H: 600 x 300 x 250 mm Compatible coolant: Water, Oil Drill speed: Adjustable Motor power: 1500 watts Electrical: 220 VAC 1 phase, 50 or 60 Hz Weight: 150 kg Volume: 500 x 500 x 1800 mm 6/65

7 AUTOMATED PLUGGING MACHINE The heavy built diamond tooled drill press is especially designed to drill in various size core samples with an automatic, variable force, constant pressure feed. A constant pressure feed enables the coring bit to drill fast in soft rock, but the rate of advance will automatically slow down in harder rock. The constant pressure feed uses a hydraulic actuator for smooth operation at low rates of advance. The rapid-retract position brings the coring bit out of the rock to a position that will allow removal of the plug from the bit. The coring operation can be performed using water/oil coolant or optionally Liquid nitrogen for unconsolidated samples. The core clamping assembly is mounted on the pan table. An XY table allows for positioning the pan at the right position before drilling the core sample. The head of the drill press can be titled in order to drill the sample in vertical or inclined position. Coring bit internal diameter 1", 1.5", 2 Maximum coring depth 5 inches (12.5 cm), 30 cm (option) Drip pan dimensions L x W x H: 1340 x 380 x 340 mm Coring position any position from -45 to +45 Pan position X: +/ mm, Y: +/-125 mm Compatible coolant Water, Oil, liquid N2 (option) Drill speed 550, 1120, 1680 RPM Electrical 230 VAC 1 phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 11.5 A Weight 300 kg Water 100 psi Overall dimensions L x W x H: 1700 x 680 x 2140 mm 7/65

17 CENTRIFUGAL EXTRACTOR The centrifugal extractor is designed to spray warm, clean solvent from a still against the core samples. The centrifugal force causes solvent to flow through samples displacing and extracting the oil (and water).

18 CO 2 SOLVENT CORE CLEANER (CSC 70) The core Cleaner is a device for cleaning crude oil, drilling mud liquids, and water from a single piece of whole core or from a batch of core plug samples. The principle consists of filling the gas filled space in the core with solvent (e.g. toluene) by surrounding the core with a suitable solvent containing dissolved CO 2 gas and applying sufficient hydraulic pressure. The solvent mixes with oil in the core and subsequent depressurizing to atmospheric pressure removes residual oil from the core. A number of repeated cycles are required to clean the core of hydrocarbons. The apparatus fits into a standard size floor hood. The cleaning chamber is a pressure vessel which is heated electrically with an electrical heater enclosed in an explosion proof housing. The solvent is pumped from an on-board supply tank to the cleaning vessel with a high pressure pump. A cyclone separator with a stainless steel-packed, water-cooled aftercooler is provided to separate the CO 2 and the used hot solvent when the vessel is drained. The used toluene drains into an explosion proof electric still where it is recovered and delivered back to the clean solvent supply. A coolant bath is provided to recirculate cold water around the cyclone to cool down the hot solvent, thus avoiding large consumption of water. The still operation is automatic. The process controls are housed in a non-explosion proof box intended to be mounted outside of the hood. A touch screen panel allows to operate the machine in manual and fully automated modes. Vessel diameter: Model 1:4.6 (118 mm) - Model 2: 5.2 (134 mm) Vessel length Model 1:10.7 (274 mm) - Model 2: 27 (685 mm) CO 2 pressure 200 psi Solvent pressure 1,000 psi Wetted materials 316 Stainless steel Net weight 500 kg Requirements: Air Electrical 100 psi 220V, 50Hz, 2,000 Watts 18/65

19 SOXHLET EXTRACTOR The soxhlet distillation extraction method is used to dissolve and extract oil and brine from rock core sample by using solvents. The cleanliness of the sample is determined from the color of the solvent that siphons periodically from the extractor which must be clear. The samples are placed in the extractor and cleaned by refluxing solvent. The solvent is heated and vaporized in boiling flasks and cooled at the top by condenser. The cooled solvent liquid falls into the sample chamber. The cleaned solvent fills the chamber and soaks the core sample. When the chamber is full, the dirty solvent which was used to clean the core siphons back into the boiling flask and is redistilled again The apparatus consists of a distillation/extraction glassware unit and a heating mantle with thermostatic controller. The glassware is composed of boiling flask, soxhlet extractor and condenser. A flexible plastic tubing is also used to connect the condenser to the water cooling unit. All these devices are mounted on a mounting rack.

34 RETORT OVEN The retort oven is designed to determine oil and water fluid saturation by a high temperature retorting process in which the oil and water contained in a fresh sample of crushed core material are vaporized, condensed and collected in calibrated glassware. The samples are progressively heated to remove water and then heat up to 650 C (1,200 F) to remove oil from the sample. The gas saturation is determined on an adjacent, litho logically similar sample by placing the core sample in a mercury porosimeter and measuring the amount of mercury injected with the water and/or oil in place. The system comprises a retort cabinet containing two chambers of five sample bombs capable of holding crushed core material. Each bomb is equipped with a sealed threaded cap and is connected to a long, stainless steel condensing tube. The tube passes through a water bath thereby enhancing condensation of the evolved gases. Calibrated glass receiving tube is affixed to each condensing tube with a rubber stopper to collect the water and oil produced from the sample.

35 GAMMA RAY LOGGER (NGR 200) The NGR200 core gamma ray logger provides both total and spectral analysis of the natural gamma radiations emitted from the core samples upon arrival at the laboratory. It permits to differentiate uranium, thorium and potassium concentrations. The data obtained with this apparatus can be used to adjust the depth of the core to coincide with the open-hole logging depths and to identify zones where core has been lost. The apparatus consists of a conveyer for moving core, lead shielding to reduce background gamma radiation and a suitable gamma ray detector. The detector system consists of a shielded scintillation crystal coupled with a photo multiplier. Signals from the detector are processed using a multi channel spectrum analyzer and analytical software. The gamma ray events are energy - sorted and counted over three energy windows K, U and Th as well as the total gamma radiation. Core samples can be in barrel, in a fibre glass, or aluminium, liner or exposed. The core is scanned along its length from bottom to top simulating a wire-line log pass. The logging speed is adjustable to suit the core and data requirements. Belt length 4 meters Suitable for core up to 5.5 Shielding area 5 & 3.7 cm around the crystal Sodium Iodine detector 3 by 3 Variable logging speed up to 2 feet / min Power supply 230 VAC 50/60 Hz 1 phase 35/65

36 GEOMETRIC BULK VOLUME METER (GBV) This instrument is designed to measure bulk volume of plug sized and/or full diameter core samples with excellent accuracy. The principle consists of measuring accurately the length and diameter of the samples at different grades. Minimum of 8 measurements along the diameter and one every 50 mm along the length are necessary to get an accurate bulk volume measurement. The bulk volume is determined by integrating those measurements. This calculation can be done by hand or by optional computer program.
