Description
The SMC Wireline Q Series Core Barrel is an advanced coring system designed for high-efficiency core recovery in deep drilling applications. Engineered for use in mineral exploration, geotechnical investigations, and environmental drilling, the Q Series enables operators to retrieve core samples without pulling out the entire drill string—dramatically reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
This system consists of an outer tube assembly that remains in the borehole, and an inner tube assembly that captures the core and is retrieved to the surface via an overshot using a wireline winch. The design ensures minimal disruption to the borehole and preserves core quality, even at great depths.
Available in industry-standard sizes such as AQ, BQ and NQ are built for durability, ease of use, and compatibility with a wide range of drilling rigs and accessories. All components are manufactured with high-strength materials and precision machining to ensure long service life and reliable performance under demanding field conditions.
With its efficient design and proven reliability, the SMC Wireline Q Series is the preferred choice for professionals seeking optimal core recovery, time savings, and reduced operational costs in deep drilling projects.
