Core samples are the backbone of geological exploration and analysis. Whether you're in oil and gas, mining, or environmental consulting, how and where you store your core samples impacts not just compliance—but future accessibility and research.
At Embassy Records Management & Storage, we provide tailored geological core storage that balances security, organization, and cost-efficiency—without overcomplicating it.
What Is Geological Core Storage?
Geological core storage refers to the proper handling and preservation of cylindrical rock samples collected during drilling operations. These samples provide critical data for:
Resource exploration and evaluation
Geotechnical and environmental studies
Long-term reference and research
The right storage setup ensures your cores remain intact, organized, and ready when you need them—even years down the line.
Why Ambient Core Storage Is a Smart, Practical Option
Not all cores require climate-controlled environments. In fact, some core samples can be safely stored in clean, secure, ambient storage conditions—as long as the facility is designed to protect from dust, pests, unauthorized access, and environmental extremes.
Benefits of ambient geological storage:
✅ Cost-effective for long-term needs
✅ Organized racking and indexing for easy retrieval
✅ Secure access controls and restricted facility access
✅ Ideal for mineral, rock, and soil core samples
For clients with sensitive or moisture-reactive materials, we do offer climate-controlled vault storage—but for most, ambient storage provides the right balance of protection and budget control.
