Applied Coring and Well Logging for Enhanced Reservoir Characterization

Course Overview

This Energy training course is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of core analysis and well logging techniques for more accurate reservoir characterization. The use of core analysis and well logging to measure routine and specialized rock properties (RCAL & SCAL) provides valuable insights into the presence of hydrocarbons, reservoir storage capacity, and flow potential. These techniques are essential for assessing critical reservoir parameters, aiding key decisions regarding reservoir management, development, and enhanced oil recovery initiatives.

The training course covers both Routine Core Analysis (RCAL) and Special Core Analysis (SCAL), along with various well logging methods. It includes topics such as coring objectives and methods, as well as measurements for porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, capillary pressure, wettability, and advanced SCAL techniques like SEM, XRF, ICP-AES, and EDS. The course also explores different well logging techniques, such as shale, resistivity, and porosity logs, for both clean and shaly reservoir rocks.

Participants will also analyze real-world field cases, with hands-on exercises focused on optimizing coring and well logging applications.

This Applied Coring and Well Logging for Enhanced Reservoir Characterization training course highlights include:

  • Design and protocol for coring programs
  • Routine and Special Core Analyses (RCAL & SCAL)
  • Laboratory methods for measuring various rock properties
  • Well logging techniques, their interpretation, and practical applications
  • Determining rock properties from well logs for both clean and shaly formations
  • Integrating diverse data for a more accurate identification of reservoir flow units
