    Petroleum professionals need to understand the intrinsic reservoir properties that core and core analysis provides. Evidence of hydrocarbon presence, reservoir storage capacity, and flow capacity along with the distribution of porosity, permeability, and geological descriptive information can be directly obtained from core material. 

    Core analysis is the fundamental foundation of reservoir characterization. Using a multidisciplinary approach, managerial, drilling, geological, and engineering requirements should all be considered.  Design and application of core analysis is dependent on the coring method, the coring fluid systems, core handling at the wellsite, and core preservation techniques. Core analysis provides the building blocks for understanding fluid flow, ultimate recovery, and displacement efficiencies. Over 30 percent of the classroom time will be dedicated to data analysis, workshops, and case studies. 

     

    Participants in this course will learn about common coring objectives.   Some topics that will be covered in this coring program include porosity, permeability, residual fluids, and lithology at micro-scale.  Depositional and textural information, as well as reservoir connate water saturation will also be discussed during this course.  Areal changes in permeability, porosity, and lithology will be discussed, as well as the assessment of compressibility of reservoir rocks.  To accomplish the learning objectives for each day, attendees will be given hands-on problems and exercises with field examples to reinforce the course instruction.

    The intended audience for this course includes geologists, petrophysicists, and engineers who are using core analysis in the development of geology or reservoir characterization.

    Participants in the course will need to know the basics of petrophysics and reservoir fundamentals.
