1 Wellsite operations coring and core handling
An overview of rig-site coring, core handling, core
stabilisation and core transportation best practices.
Client Implications:
Attendees will gain an overview of wellsite practices and
important steps to ensure value of information from core is
not eroded.
2
Routine core analysis plugging, cleaning, drying, basic measurements
An overview of the workflow once the core arrives in the
laboratory, covering plugging, cleaning, drying, and basic
measurements.
Client Implications:
Attendees learn how to tailor the core analysis programme to
different rock types to ensure maximum value is attained.
3 Wettability & Capillarity fundamental principles and oilfield impact, capillary pressure
Fundamentals of rock-fluid wettability and capillarity. The
impact on reservoir fluid distribution and flow behaviour is
discussed alongside laboratory measurement methods and
model implementation.
Client Implications:
Attendees able to link first-principle concepts to reservoir
behaviour, data acquisition aims, and model build decisions.
4
Electrical properties cementation exponent, resistivity index fundamentals
Introduction to electrical core analysis laboratory
measurements including best practice and common pitfalls.
Client Implications:
Attendees gain an awareness of foundational concepts and
laboratory measurement approaches.
5
Relative Permeability fundamental principles and measurement methods
Introduction to the first-principle concepts influencing fluid
flow in porous media and how relative permeability is
measured.
Client Implications:
Armed with an understanding of the foundation concepts
attendees are able to interrogate existing models and
workflows and engage in further discussion with colleagues.
6
Core Analysis Workflow An end to end overview of a typical core analysis study
An overview of the end to end core analysis workflow and the
roles and responsibilities of a project owner and key
stakeholders.
Client Implications:
Attendees are armed with information to help them manage
a core analysis study at a vendor laboratory.
