Coring and Core Analysis

Core analysis is the name given to the test procedures and data collected on core samples. A variety of information and data may be obtained via measurements of physical and chemical properties, visual observations, and photo-graphs. The two major categories of core analysis are conventional core analysis, with associated complementary data, and special core analysis. Other specialized studies are often made that do not fall neatly within either of these categories but are important to both engineers and geologists. Conventional core analysis yields the most basic data about a reservoir, such as: the presence or absence of hydrocarbons; the storage capacity (porosity), the flow capacity and its distribution (magnitude and profile of permeability); the lithology and texture of the formation.
Nbiz Infosol provides this course in UAE specifically in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, RAK, Al Ain, Umm Al Quwain and other areas

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able: - 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. wettability, relative permeability, capillary pressure, and reservoir fluid distribution for reservoir engineering and petro physical evaluation - Prevent/spot errors in core analysis vendor reports (quality control) - Select samples for special core studies, Correlate core & log data
