Core laboratory analysis is one of the most valuable sources of direct, physical information about a hydrocarbon reservoir.

 Unlike indirect measurements, core data provides a tangible record of the rock itself — its structure, its fluids, and its behavior under reservoir conditions. At Petro Baghdad, our core laboratory services support reservoir characterization, field development planning, and enhanced recovery strategies through systematic sampling, preservation, and detailed examination of rock cores recovered from underground formations, including reservoir intervals, cap rocks, and aquifers.

The data obtained from these analyses provides essential insights into the mechanical, chemical, and petrophysical properties of the rock under both ambient and simulated reservoir conditions.

 These insights inform critical decisions related to well placement, completion design, stimulation strategies, and reserves estimation. Our laboratory is equipped to perform two complementary tiers of analysis:
