barrons2	"Core Labs has a real Investor's Business Daily-breakdown feel and I would rather not touch it yet. Those IBD guys never seem to stop selling, but I really like this one down in the teens."	Love	November 15, 2007

gross641	BUY Core Lab’s (CLB) which is providing the extraction technology to the Oil companies in Canada and the Rest of the World (http://stocks.us.reuters.com/stocks/fullDescription.asp?rpc=66&symbol=CLB) Core Labs has operations across all of the major oil producing countries. They provide an engineering service to develop extraction techniques that improve that increase the amount of recoverable oil from a reservoir and a separate drilling instrumentation segment. The science behind their technology is quite complicated, but I’ll give it a shot. The reservoir Description segment analyzes the geology of the area and looks at the rocks, to see their porosity (how much oil can pass through), the size of the reservoir (total amount of oil or natural gas in the rocks), the rate at which it can be extracted and the most efficient way to extract the oil given that information. The Production Enhancement segment produces data that is used to improve the amount of recoverable oil. Two methods are used hydraulic fracturing and C20 sequestration. They conduct geologic surveying and testing to optimize the flow rate of the oil from the reservoir rocks. Reservoir Management is involved in actively working with the integrated oil companies and natural gas companies on a day-to-day basis to maximize daily production and the ultimate total recovery from the reservoir. During Core Lab’s last quarter they had 70% international revenue and it marked their eighth consecutive quarter of earnings growth. The company sees opportunity in deep water reservoir rocks (7.5% worlds recoverable oil) which have yet to be exploited for their oil. Also they continue to buy back stock with 40% of the share repurchased since their 2002 buyback program started. (14 million shares). Over a 10 year period the stock is up 940% return	Love	June 03, 2007

Greg NTG1 Parker	A little bit expensive. However, the 5 year chart looks good. Any temporary dip in oil now will sooner or later give way to rabid demand. 10 shares now, 'mon back later.	Love	February 01, 2007
