An operator was coring in the Smackover formation to understand the production zone and design the best completion system. The US Coring team recommended their RockStrong™ full-closure jam mitigation system with HD Catchers.
US Coring secured the required core using a kelly rig with no issues, but the system became stuck 450 ft out of shoe and was jarred 60k over string weight 70+ times before the core barrel was freed. US Coring recovered 100% of the core even after jarring for multiple hours due to its enhanced core catchers. There was no damage to the tools once reaching the surface nor upon further inspections in the US Coring shop.
