Courtney Rubin from Baker Hughes breaks it down in a way that’s easy to follow, showing how pulling rock samples tells us what’s really happening underground and why that matters for oil, gas, and even the future of energy. From wildcat wells to offshore rigs, she shares stories from the field, what actually happens to those cores once they’re out, and how new tech like AI is starting to change the process. It’s a mix of science, real-world experience, and plenty of “oh wow” moments you don’t usually hear about.\nClick here to watch a video of this episode.\n\n00:00 - Intro\n00:35 - What is Coring? \n02:16 - Courtney's Experience in the Field\n09:55 - Extracting Core Samples\n11:05 - Core Retrieval Process\n14:32 - Sponge Coring Techniques\n17:38 - Wireline Coring Explained\n20:01 - Offshore Coring Methods\n22:31 - Accuracy of Depth Tracking\n23:50 - Handling Core Jamming Issues\n27:40 - Sideways Coring Techniques\n30:49 - Utilizing Core Samples\n32:43 - Future Trends in Coring\n35:46 - Oilfield Culture Comparison by State\n42:45 - Industry Excitements\n44:00 - West Virginia's Hidden Gems\n49:56 - Understanding Core Samples\n51:01 - Salt Core Insights\n53:20 - Outro\nhttps://twitter.com/collide_io\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.io\nhttps://www.facebook.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.instagram.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_io\nhttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.social\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8F_7R-SE-nw_rUP_p1-vdDVWboJt_kcEhdbgrgTEL7E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYjY2/Yjk4MWJiZWFlYmVl/ZGIxYjkxYTdiYTdi/ZGUwMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
