About
More than three-quarters of current additions to the world's reserves come from better management of existing reserves. Core-based measurements offer the most tangible and direct means of determining critical reservoir parameters. Core analysis can play a vital role in field equity or unitization and is often considered to be the ground truth to which other measurements are compared (e.g., wireline logging). Using a multidisciplinary approach, participants are taken through the steps necessary to obtain reliable core analysis data and solve formation evaluation problems. Throughout the course, participants are given hands-on problems and practical laboratory and field examples, which reinforce the instruction. *Laboratory visit with core analysis measurement demos (where feasible).

Target Audience
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Design coring programs and maximize core recovery
- Preserve core to minimize rock alteration
- Take and analyze sidewall cores
- Use cores to estimate porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation (basic core analysis)
- Understand special core analysis (e.g., wettabililty, relative permeability, capillary pressure, and reservoir fluid distribution for reservoir engineering and petrophysical evaluation)
- Prevent/spot errors in core analysis vendor reports (quality control)
- Select samples for special core studies
- Correlate core and log data
