Abstract: Current core repository storage strategies and existing problems with current core rack retrieval were analyzed. Current retrieval methods were found to be inefficient both in the storage and retrieval of core samples. This prompted a study on improvements in storage algorithms. This new algorithm allows for improvements in rack structure, identification systems and databases used for core storage. This is done by utilizing structured information gathering for core storage areas, core observation areas and transportation devices and therefore can effectively improve the work efficiency in reducing work intensity and convenient data processing.
