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 Coring and Core Analysis and Special Core Analysis. It covers the applications and types of coring and the selection criteria for coring intervals; the core acquisition techniques, core handling at the wellsite, core orientation and marking; the core preservation methods, health, safety, and environmental considerations and core preparation for analysis; the porosity measurement, permeability determination, grain density and mineralogy; and the fluid saturation measurements and routine data quality control. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the difference between SCAL and routine core analysis; the capillary pressure measurements and relative permeability measurements; the wettability evaluation, electrical properties and formation factor; the SCAL data integration and relative permeability in complex rocks; the fracture and matrix analysis, NMR and digital rock physics; the SCAL in unconventional reservoirs, designing a SCAL program and integrating core and log data; and the reservoir characterization using core data, applications in static and dynamic models, quality control in core laboratories and core data reporting and communication.
