Title: Drilling and Formation Damage
Author: Graham M Robertson, Vice President, Corex
Graham trained as a geologist at the University of Aston in Birmingham and has spent 24 years in the Core Analysis industry. Graham is now Vice President of Corex based in London, but spends much of his time travelling throughout North Africa, the Middle East and the former Soviet Union promoting Corex’s Formation Damage, Sand Control and Sand Management testing technology. In his early career at Core Laboratories, he was responsible for introducing Ultra-violet core photography to the oil industry. He went on to become Core Labs manager for Africa based in the Ivory Coast. In 1987 he established Petrophysical Services, a Core Analysis and geological consultancy group that grew from 2 staff to over 120 in under two years, through the acquisition of Corex from SGS Redwood and the subsequent acquisition of Paleoservices. The Group continued to trade as Corex.

Graham designed, researched and introduced the first Digital Probe Permeameter to the Core Analysis industry. He published several papers on the instrumentation and data and is very proud that after its initial condemnation the measurements produced have finally been accepted as a valuable core analysis resource tool throughout the world.
