Insights

Core Labs' acquisition of Solintec strengthens its position in Brazil's growing energy market, expanding local service capabilities and market reach.

Core Laboratories' acquisition of Solintec represents a strategic expansion into Brazil's oil and gas sector, which positions the company to capitalize on Brazil's emergence as a leading non-OPEC producer. This deal has several layers of significance beyond simple geographic expansion.

The acquisition addresses a critical operational bottleneck by eliminating the need to export geological samples for analysis. By combining Solintec's in-country mineralogic and sedimentary analysis capabilities with Core Lab's proprietary non-invasive dual-energy tomography, clients gain both faster turnaround times and enhanced geological insights - particularly valuable for Brazil's complex offshore pre-salt and onshore formations.

The two companies have been collaborating through a technical services arrangement since 2022, which suggests a well-vetted integration pathway with reduced execution risk. Solintec brings significant client relationships, having served the "vast majority" of companies operating in Brazil for over three decades, along with valuable ISO certifications and 100% certified local content status.

This transaction aligns with Core Lab's articulated strategy of targeted investments in key growth markets, similar to their recent expansion of unconventional core analysis capabilities in Saudi Arabia. For an analytical services provider like Core Lab, geographic presence near client operations is particularly valuable, as it enables faster service delivery and deeper client relationships in a business where technical expertise and service quality are primary differentiators.

HOUSTON, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Core Laboratories (NYSE: "CLB") announced today the acquisition of Brazil-based integrated geological services company, Solintec.

For more than three decades, Solintec has provided integrated upstream oil and gas geological services to the vast majority of national and international companies operating in Brazil. Its modern laboratory facilities and capabilities enable in-country mineralogic and sedimentary descriptive analysis, eliminating the need to export samples abroad. Combined with Core Lab's proprietary non-invasive dual-energy tomography, these services enhance geologic assessment and formation evaluation, while providing faster turnaround and deeper insights for Brazil's complex offshore pre-salt and onshore projects.

"This transaction is another example of recent investments Core continues to make in key markets which are targeted at growth, and we believe Brazil will continue to emerge as a leading non-OPEC producer with prolific reserves both onshore and offshore. The acquisition of Solintec will strengthen our local presence and expand the range of high-value services offered locally to clients," said Larry Bruno, CEO of Core Laboratories. "Whether it's an acquisition like Solintec, or expanding existing facilities and capabilities like we did with our unconventional core analysis laboratory in Saudi Arabia, Core Lab will continue to evaluate investments in growth opportunities. Core remains committed to offering advanced technologies across our global footprint and directly into the world's most critical energy markets. Together, these strategic investments enhance client partnerships, open new avenues for growth, and reinforce our commitment to creating shareholder value."

Core Lab and Solintec have been collaborating through a technical services arrangement since 2022, offering the broadest range of complementary service portfolios available to Brazil's oil and gas industry. This acquisition will further enhance Core Lab's presence to deliver the most comprehensive suite of reservoir laboratory services in the region and long-term, sustainable value for its clients and shareholders.
