The new edition of Cores and Core Logging for Geoscientists is set to a great extent in the field of petroleum geology. However, it will also be interesting to a wide circle of geoscientists working in economic, mining and geotechnical disciplines. The book provides geoscientists a thorough account of coring methods and the interpretation of data gathered from core observation.


The book acts as a guide for the trained geologist who needs to apply accumulated knowledge and experience to the description and interpretation of rock sequences recovered by the coring of subsurface boreholes. By describing the limitations and weaknesses, in addition to the advantages, of core in providing geological information, the book will also be of value to those who use data derived from cores, but have not undertaken the logging themselves.


Geologists involved with cores and coring work in a wide range of industries, in which widely differing techniques and terminologies are used. So far as possible, this book seeks to cater for geologists working in any of these spheres, and to concentrate on aspects common to coring, irrespective of the final purpose of the exercise. Methodology is covered in some detail, ranging from basic core handling at the wellsite and beyond, through to logging, interpreting and presenting core data.
