Catering to engineers and geoscientists without prior experience in coring and core analysis. The course is designed to
run over two days, although duration and content can be tailored to match an organisation's training needs
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.
