COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of the advanced techniques and applications of SCAL. It covers the types of core and its analysis including the rock chemical composition and rock properties; the core acquisition and sampling, wellsite tasks and initial lab tasks; the effect of coring fluids and core recovery on fluid saturations; and the core preservation methods and core saturation methods. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the process appreciation and optimization, cleaning methods and drying methods; the permeability fundamentals, routine measurement methods and comparison of results and acceptable deviations from standards; the porosity and the stress effects on routine rock properties, pore volume compressibility; the core wettability, capillary pressure and core electrical properties; the relative permeability and initial versus residual relationships; and the RCA-SCAL programmes to fit the objectives of the core analysis study and reservoir characterization.
