COURSE OVERVIEW

Coring and well logging tools offer the most tangible and direct means of determining critical reservoir parameters for making important and critical decisions about reservoir management and/or development plus enhanced oil recovery projects. This course is designed to provide deep understanding and field application of integrated core and well logging data for better reservoir characterization such as; data from routine and special core analysis (RCA & SCAL) combined with well-logging data for enhanced reservoir characterization. Laboratory measurement of routine and special core analyses (RCA & SCAL) will be covered plus empirical correlations for predicting rock properties. In addition, three groups of well logging including shale, resistivity, and porosity logs will be presented with actual field cases.
This course covers coring objectives, coring methods, definitions and measurements of porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, capillary pressure, relative permeability, wettability, and others of advanced Special Core Analysis (SCAL) tools such as; SEM, XRF, ICP-AEX, and EDS tools. The course also presents different well logging methods of clean and shaly reservoir rocks. Calibration of core and well logging data will be presented. All data attained will be integrated and used for understanding and comparing current industry reservoir characterization techniques.
