Reservoir Characterization & Laboratory
RC&L is a division of Onyx that focused on maximising the value of oil and gas reservoir.
We integrate wellsite and laboratory services with wider experience and state of the art equipment
to enable optimal results from rock analyses thus giving excellent reservoir characterization
decisions. We provide wellsite core handling and preservation, core analysis, geological analysis,
and geomechanics testing and modelling.
We provide hands-on and classroom training to our clients. We also provide industrial training and
support researches to higher education institutes as part of our commitment to the community.
We follow the best practices for wellsite core handling and preservation because we firmly
believe that these operations are crucial to preserving the value of rock characterization.
Wellsite core handling and preservation procedures should follow the best possible practices because the value of all rock characterization is affected by these initial operations.
We are experienced in core preservation at the wellsite to ensure the samples are handled and preserved correctly. We have experienced handling consolidated samples as well as unconsolidated core samples – the more challenging type of sample to handle with.
For consolidated samples, resin or foam are used for core preservation and stabilisation. The choice depends on the decision made by our core preservation experts together with the clients.
As for unconsolidated samples, dry ice is more suitable to preserve the core. Cores are frozen until it reaches -60 degree Celsius before they are packed and transported in special containers. We were the first to preserve cores using liquid nitrogen in Malaysia and in Brunei.
Cores are transported safely to clients’ site by tagging each core box with shock tag, together with the supervision of our personnel.

Our 16,000 sqft Core Laboratory in Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia, provides a suite of
laboratory services that focus on reservoir rock analyses. Supported by local expertise and
rigorous quality-check processes, we are experienced in providing Routine and Special Core
Analyses, G&G analyses which include Sedimentology, Biostratigraphy and Geochemistry, and Rock
Mechanics. Our laboratory capabilities are further expanded with the latest addition to our
services, Digital Core Analysis.
We offer a quantitative mineralogy analysis done at the rig or client’s site, increasing the
certainty of decisions and reducing incorrect interpretations.
Get better understanding on your reservoir rock behavior and the mechanical changes associated
with completion and production.
We have extensive experience in quantitative reservoir characterization using seismic, electromagnetic and well log data in hydrocarbon-producing basins around the world. The extensive expertise and a rich suite of integrated services that we can use to decrease risk and reveal the rock and fluid properties of your reservoir.
Multi-physics analysis of seismic and electromagnetic data ensures that the strengths of one data type can be used to compensate for the weaknesses in another.
Using our well-driven integrated interpretation workflows, we can optimize reservoir characterization for hydrocarbon-bearing basins of interest around the world. Results from all analyses are delivered in geologic context, providing clients with the information they need to make critical drilling decisions.
