What’s Happening in Texas Right Now In Oil & Gas Industry?

Texas Oil & Gas Industry /

Here’s what’s interesting: Texas is pumping more oil than ever before—over 5.8 million barrels every single day—but it’s using fewer drilling machines to do it. It sounds backwards, but there’s a solid reason why. Modern drilling techniques, better equipment, and smarter planning—areas where Kocurek Industries continues to innovate—mean that each drilling rig produces way more …

Fracturing Cores

What Do You Mean By Fracturing Cores?

Coring, Fracturing Cores /

Fracturing core samples, also known as core samples or core plugs, are cylindrical samples of rock retrieved from the subsurface during drilling operations. These samples provide invaluable insights into the composition, porosity/consistency, permeability, and mechanical properties of the reservoir rock. It refers to the fractures that occur due to drilling, coring, or handling. In this …
