ROCK AND ROLL
Most companies in the oil business, whether state-owned giants or mid-size competitors, already know Petricore. Formed from experi- enced firms and comprising the team responsible for ResLab, which was well established as an important supplier of petrophysics ser- vices, Petricore has weathered the industry downturn and emerged stronger than ever. Today, it is positioned to become a global indus- try leader in laboratory core analysis and wellsite services. The com- pany foresees a vital role in the future for digital analysis and utilizes cutting-edge digital imaging tools to facilitate accurate analyses for ambitious and costly projects around the world.
Mexico’s proven oil reserves are significant, and the country is home to some of the world’s largest oil fields. When lab and wellsite ser- vices are required, the Petricore team often gets a call. The team’s expert knowledge of local geology and extensive in-country facilities are backed by 20 years of service in the Mexican market. The firm is uniquely prepared to deliver comprehensive petrophysical services including special core analysis, mud logging, drill monitoring, wellsite geology, paleontology, and digital imaging. Petricore assures com- pliance with consolidated sampling and analysis requirements from Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) so that clients will not have to worry with these details.
Many of Petricore’s strategic partners in Houston, which include Me- tarock Laboratories and Geomark Research, also support Mexican operations. It makes for a matchless combination of experience and sophistication that has driven the company’s success since its found- ing in 2007.

Although Petricore is only 10 years old, executives envision an ambi- tious future. In the next five years, they expect the business to con- solidate globally around three main hubs in Houston, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico, with major service centers in Colombia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Egypt. These plans reflect the fact that Petricore is already a lead- er providing custom services to the world’s main state-owned oil com- panies, including Pemex in Mexico, Aramco in Saudi Arabia, Colom- bia’s Ecopetrol, and ADCO in Abu Dhabi. It also works with many of the major oil multinationals such as ExxonMobil, ConocoPhilips, Shell, Chevron, and Anadarko. In the coming years, the organization hopes to capitalize on its state-of-the-art approach and achieve a sustain- able and profitable global position.
