Redefining Coring Performance: Canamera Coring Delivers 63 Meters in Single Run

April 10, 2026

Canamera Coring recently achieved a monumental milestone during a standout operation in Canada’s Mannville and McLaren formations. In a single, uninterrupted run, the team successfully cut and recovered a full 63‑meter core, demonstrating exceptional planning, precision, and execution. The operation delivered 100% core recovery in a 200 mm hole size while sustaining an impressive rate of penetration (ROP) of 25 meters per hour, underscoring Canamera Coring’s technical expertise and disciplined operational approach.

Efficiency That Translates Directly to Savings

Canamera Coring approached this project with a clear objective: deliver a complete, high-quality core in the most efficient manner possible. By leveraging advanced coring tools, optimized operational planning, and an experienced field team, the operation was executed in a single run, eliminating unnecessary trips and downtime while preserving core integrity from top to bottom. Traditionally, a coring interval of this length and complexity would require multiple short runs, often as many as seven, spread across several days. Each additional run introduces more non-productive time, higher exposure to operational risk, and increased cost for the operator.

The ability to recover the full 63 meters of core in one run generated immediate and tangible benefits for the operator. Compared to a conventional multi-run approach, the streamlined operation significantly reduced overall rig time. The result was an estimated cost savings of up to $75,000 USD, driven by fewer trips, reduced personnel exposure, and minimized operational delays.

Advancing the Standard for Core Operations

As operators continue to demand greater efficiency and higher-quality subsurface data, the role of specialized coring providers has never been more critical. Canamera Coring remains focused on pushing the boundaries of what is possible in coring operations, helping clients meet technical objectives while controlling cost and risk.

This latest milestone reinforces Canamera Coring’s position as a trusted partner for complex coring projects worldwide, delivering precision where it matters most and results that directly impact the bottom line, reduce rig time, lower total well costs, and maximize core recovery – without compromising data quality or operational safety.
