Core orientation is the process of determining the original position of a drill core sample. When combined with downhole survey results, it gives the core sample location and orientation before it was extracted from the ground. Geologists use this data to measure structural features, such as bedding planes, fractures and veins, aiding in the creation of a geological model and identification of subsurface formations.
There are two broad categories of core orientation methodology: manual and digital. These methods help determine the precise orientation of rock formations within a drill core sample.
Some core orientation methodologies include (and can be seen as complementary):
QA/QC data is important in core orientation as it removes the ambiguity of what went wrong if a poor orientation occurs.
