The Houston Research
Center (HRC), is located on the west side of Houston, Texas, six miles
north of I-10 and two miles south of U.S. Highway 290. This state-of-the-art
climate-controlled facility is equipped to permanently store and curate
over 500,000 boxes of geologic core and cuttings. The Houston, Austin,
and Midland core facilities have combined holdings of nearly 2 million
boxes of geologic material.

Resources
and Services
In addition to the climate-controlled core and cuttings warehouse, the HRC
complex has offices, laboratories, and a well-lit core layout room available
for visiting scientists. There are also two conference rooms to accommodate
guests attending short courses and seminars. Other services are available
upon request. Nominal fees are charged to rent table space and to view core.

NSF
Cores and Samples
The HRC has space dedicated for storing samples and cores acquired by NSF-funded
research. The HRC curates this material and facilitates continued access
to the material by researchers. For more information about utilizing these
storage and curation services, please contact Beverly
DeJarnett (713-983-9420). This material is based upon work supported
by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0331241. |
Searchable
Database
The Integrated Core and Log Database (IGOR)
is a searchable database for all core and well cutting holdings. Some Austin
and Midland data are not currently included in IGOR; please contact James
Donnelly (512-471-0402) if you have any questions regarding this. |
