Core Analysis Fundamentals and Technology (RES45)

    Description

    This course introduces participants to established principles of modern core analysis including advanced imaging techniques.
    The course covers the complete handling of the core along with procedures and tools for core measurements. The topics and engineering examples extend from sample selection, data acquisition and quality control to analysis, reporting, petrophysical modelling and integration.
    Upon completion participants will be skilled and ready to design, implement and evaluate a successful coring and core analysis program.

    Course Level: Foundation
    Duration: 4 days
    Instructor: Jim Funk

    Designed for you, if you are...

    • A geologist, geophysicist, reservoir engineer or petrophysicist who will recommend or use core analysis measurements
    • A core analyst, formation damage specialist or laboratory technician working to develop improved laboratory measurements and procedures
    • A database professional tasked with developing core and rock property databases

    How we build your confidence

    • Concise summaries of the techniques, equipment and measurement basics for conventional, special and imaging rock property measurements are provided
    • You learn the best combination of tests and techniques for an optimal core analysis program
    • You learn to evaluate and analyse the raw data, calculate the uncertainty and incorporate the results
