Coring and Conventional Core Analysis
Course Description
One thing that is very important for both geologist and reservoir engineers is to have a reasonable justification and explanation to some odd reservoir behavior and ambiguities. By choosing this BTS training course, all participants will be able differentiate between good and bad data, how to retrieve what they need from core reports; link their work and interpretation to solid conclusive material especially for facies, zonation and petrophysical parameters. Participants to this 5-day intensive Coring and Conventional Core Analysis training course will enrich their geological, geophysical, petrophysical and reservoir engineering knowledge and experience with some real rock data and knowing where this data is coming from and how they were interpreted in addition to the in-depth background on how to maximize the usage of such 3d real data in hand. All participants will have a strong background on knowing what analysis, laboratory work and even type of methods used to request once the core is ready as well as having a good quality control scheme on presented data by the coring company
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

This training course will highlight:

  • Why we need a core and what is the maximum we can get from
  • How to have a good core and hence accurate analysis
  • The application of core data and analysis onto reservoir rock evaluation
  • How core can help explaining odd reservoir behavior and ambiguities
  • All type of tools and lab analysis that we can have what they provide per reservoir type
  • Link all core interpreted data to environment of deposition, modeling and volumetric   
Training Objective

The main goals of this BTS training course are to enrich the participant’s knowledge with in-depth core data, understand the coring procedure and importance, maximize the usage of core analysis, learn the benefit of core interpreted data to geologists and engineers, create the best justification several reservoir behavior ambiguities and link all results in hand to future facies/zonation and modeling.

By the end of this training course, participants will:

  • Know the vital role of coring
  • Learn what to get from core analysis
  • Be able to maximize the usage of core data
  • Who is this Training Course for?
  • This BTS training course suits all exploration and development staff and reservoir engineers, but it is mainly designed to for:
  • Petrophysicists
  • Geologists and Modeler
  • Reservoir Engineers
  • Geophysicists
  • Understand and justify possible reservoir behavior ambiguities
  • Be able to apply interpreted core data to environment and facies
