Course Overview

Coring and Conventional Core Analysis course will introduce a practical view for routine and special core analysis (RCAL & SCAL) which is a very important aspect used in several reservoir engineering applications like production forecasting, reservoir characterization and simulation, and water flooding design.

Through this course, participants will be competent to understand the entire process of planning core acquisition, core preparation, plugs selection, plugs preparation, designing a core analysis program for conventional and special analysis (SCAL), planning and supervising the experiments and data interpretation, preparing a core capturing program from a drilling campaign, and to select representative results for reservoir engineering studies.

This Zoe course will show the theoretical background and the practical application for each measurement so that the trainee can have deep practical learning not just knowing the theoretical facts. The course advances from the measurement fundamentals to the necessary evaluation and appraisal of the laboratory results and onto the practical application in example simulation studies.
