    Applied Core Analysis - How to Interpret Core Data

    This applied course will provide participants with an improved understanding   of petrophysical properties as they apply to the interpretation of reservoirs.  The basics of rock based petrophysics, including routine core analysis methods and special core analysis techniques will be presented.  The course will focus on the factors that control porosity, permeability, fluids, wettability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability data analysis.  Participants will have the chance to learn how to interpret routine and special core analysis and about the sources of error and see sample correlations of a log and core data set, resulting in a saturation-height model.  

    The intended audience of this course includes geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, production engineers, and petrophysicists.

    1. How to apply and use the results from routice core analysis (RCA or CCA) and Special Core Analysis (SCAL) for static and dynamic model building.

    2. The fundamentals of core-log integration (Lithology, mineralogy, porosity and saturation).

    3.  Practical applications of capillary pressure (FWL, fluid-contacts, fluid distibution, pore geometry, drainage and imbibition processes).

    4. Using high pressure mercury injection capillary pressure to determine pore geometry and the foundation of petrophysicalrock typing.

    5. Using pore geometry to determine core based petrophysical rock types and creating core-log stauration height models.

    6. Integrating relative permeabilility, wettability and capillary pressure information.

    7.  Introducing Modified Lorenz and Multi-Component Modified Lorenz Plots as key petrophysical reservoir characterization tools.
