CORING AND CORE ANALYSIS

Outcomes

Participants will learn how to:

• Design coring programs and maximize recovery
• Preserve core to minimize rock alteration
• Take and analyze sidewall cores
• Use cores to estimate porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation (basic core analysis)
• Understand special core analysis, e.g., wettabililty, relative permeability, capillary pressure, and reservoir fluid distribution for reservoir engineering and petrophysical evaluation
• Prevent/spot errors in core analysis vendor reports (quality control)
• Select samples for special core studies
• Correlate core and log data
