The Core Research Centre (CRC) has exceeded capacity for core storage. The CRC has secured additional warehouse space at an off-site location to house ‘inactive core’. ‘Inactive’ core is core that has never or seldom been viewed in the past. ‘Active’ core is core that has been viewed more frequently, and any recently submitted core.
CRC will continue to provide viewing services for all core stored in Calgary, both active and inactive. You will be advised at the time of ordering whether the core you are requesting is inactive. Inactive core will require pre-booking and there is a $100 retrieval fee.
New Steps for Ordering Core
- Order core that you require: Submit a complete list of all core that you would like to view when you book a table. Please request the core by unique well identifier (UWI) in an e-mail or by filling out a service reservation form at the CRC.
- CRC Service Desk reviews your request: The service desk will advise you of the status of the core requested (active or inactive) and provide the date that the core will be available at the CRC for you to view.
- Book your viewing dates: If your requested core is inactive, the service desk will ask whether you prefer to wait until all the core is in the building or whether you want to book multiple dates to view the core. Multiple dates are treated as multiple bookings, and will be charged accordingly.
Additional Information
- Viewing of core will continue to be at the CRC, 3545 Research Way NW, Calgary.
- Retrieval of inactive core will take place on or about the first Wednesday of each month and be available for viewing on the following Monday.
- The cut-off date for orders of inactive core is the Friday preceding the retrieval date.
- A retrieval fee of $100 per UWI is charged to retrieve inactive core. You will be charged this fee at the time of booking. The service fee is applicable to all customers.
