Demand for Core Laboratories' products and services exhibits seasonality, influenced by energy consumption. The company typically anticipates a seasonally light first quarter and a year-end seasonal decline in U.S. onshore completion activity. For the first half of 2026, Core Lab projects U.S. land completion activity to be down compared to the first half of 2025, though an improvement from current levels is expected. Growth in demand for diagnostic services and energetic system product sales in international and offshore markets may partially offset declines in U.S. onshore activity.
