    Practical Aspects of Routine Core Analysis - RILS

    This course is designed to be delivered remotely via the internet using the NExT RILS format.  This course can be delivered as a public or private offering and can be customized to fit the needs of a client.

    Petroleum professionals need to understand the intrinsic value that routine core analysis provides. Evidence of hydrocarbon presence, reservoir storage capacity and flow capacity along with porosity, permeability and the geologic description is typically obtained from routine core analysis.

    Routine Core Analysis (RCA or Basic Core Analysis) is the fundamental foundation of reservoir characterization and core-log integration. In this course the process of designing a program is introduced along with typical techniques for obtaining core measurements  including (core program  design considerations, core sample preparation, volume determination (Vb, Vp & Vg), absolute permeability, grain density, fluid saturation and an introduction to capillary pressure and core-log integration. 

    Over 30 percent of the classroom time will be dedicated to exercises, workshops and case studies.
