Core Lab Celebrates 90 Years of Innovation, Insights & Impact

February 13, 2026

"On February 13, 2026, Core Laboratories proudly celebrates its 90th anniversary. When the Company introduced core analysis as a commercial service in 1936, it transformed the petroleum industry forever. Since then, generations of Core Lab scientists, engineers, technologists, and support teams have carried that pioneering mindset forward through industry cycles, technological advancements, and moments that tested our resilience -always guided by our core values and commitment to excellence.

Today, the Company delivers globally recognized solutions that enable our clients to reduce uncertainty, de-risk decisions, unlock potential, and capture opportunities in increasingly complex energy environments.

What defines us is not only the science performed in our laboratories or the technologies deployed in the field, but the employees behind them-driven by curiosity, integrity, and pride in doing things the right way, even when it wasn't the easy way. Our 90-year legacy is defined by innovation, strong client relationships, and the extraordinary people who have shaped this company over the last nine decades."
