SmartCoreâ„¢

Head‑Assembly Core Orientation System

Instant, hands‑free core orientation at surface
SmartCore™ integrates directly into the inner tube head assembly. No extension barrels, no external adapters, and zero added length. When the core reaches surface, SmartCore™ automatically establishes Bluetooth® communication—no extra activation steps. Orientation readings are ready immediately, reducing turn‑around time between runs and keeping the mark‑and‑drill workflow uninterrupted.

Eliminate orientation uncertainty
Structural inaccuracies directly affect geological models, resource estimation, and high‑stakes project decisions. Legacy methods add handling, slow down routines, and introduce inconsistencies between crews and shifts. SmartCore™ removes those risks by delivering high‑precision toolface and accurate dip values at every run. Consistent structural positioning is maintained throughout even the most demanding drilling campaigns, with minimal external components reducing potential failure points.

Safer rig operations, faster surface cycles
Fewer components mean less handling effort. SmartCoreâ„¢ improves daily operational safety and efficiency. The system replaces a standard head assembly component, simplifies configuration, and supports cleaner, more controlled rig procedures. Immediate Bluetoothâ„¢ communication prevents workflow bottlenecks, allowing crews to proceed directly with marking and maintain a smooth, continuous drilling sequence.

Connected, traceable, and QA/QC‑ready
Every run validation and core quality measurement is automatically synchronised to SPT SmartCloud™ via Wi‑Fi or 4G LTE. The platform provides centralised traceability, role‑based access, and structured QA/QC oversight. Data can be exported or integrated directly with third‑party systems through the open API. Field measurements are consistent, controlled, and aligned with project‑level validation standards—strengthening confidence in exploration and development decisions.
