ONLINE: Special Core Analysis (RES948)
Description
Core analysis provides direct engineering measurements of reservoir rock properties for both reserve analyses and recovery prediction. Knowledge of how these measurements are obtained, their uncertainties, and their appropriate application are essential for successful incorporation in reservoir evaluation and simulation. Along with a review of the basic elements for core acquisition, preservation, and sampling, participants will learn the fundamental and advanced techniques for special core analyses. Presented are the procedures and workflow for designing and evaluating the most applicable special core analysis program for a particular stage in field development, reservoir management, or carbon sequestration.
The course progresses from the measurement fundamentals to the evaluation and assessment of the laboratory results and finally the practical application for example simulation studies.
Course Structure: 4 hours per day, 3 days
Each day will consist of 2 modules of 2 hours each with multiple breaks.
Course Level: Skill
Duration: 3 days
Instructor: Jim Funk

Designed for you, if you are...
- A new or experienced reservoir engineer, petrophysicist, or geologist tasked with planning, performing, monitoring, and using special core analyses for reservoir description, management, carbon capture, or hydrogen storage
How we build your confidence
An engineering review of the fundamental measurements and physics of special core analyses guides techniques to evaluate and incorporate the experimental results. Participants will gain experience through example measurements incorporated in petrophysical and displacement models for various lithologies. The measurements are used and analysed by the participants as exercises. Open-source software tools and packages are provided to assist with the exercises and for future use.The benefits from attending
Participants will learn the essentials for planning, designing, and evaluating a special core analysis program along with the use and application of its results. You will learn techniques to transform routine measurements to reservoir conditions and how to evaluate and apply the essential measurements and results as critical elements for geo-cellular and reservoir simulation models.Topics
