Description
Core Analysis: A Best Practice Guide is a practical guide to the design of core analysis programs. Written to address the need for an up to date set of advisable practices covering special core analysis and geomechanics tests, the book also provides unique insights into data quality regulate diagnosis and data utilization in reservoir models.
The book’s best practices and procedures benefit petrophysicists, geoscientists, reservoir engineers, and production engineers, who will find useful information on core data in reservoir static and dynamic models. It provides a solid understanding of the core analysis procedures and methods used by commercial laboratories, the main points of lab data reporting required to create quality regulate tests, and the diagnostic plots and protocols that can be utilized to identify suspect or erroneous data.
- Provides a practical overview of core analysis, from coring on the well web site to laboratory data acquisition and interpretation
- Defines current best practice in core analysis preparation and test procedures, and the diagnostic tools used to quality regulate core data
- Provides crucial information on design of core analysis programs and to pass judgement on the quality and reliability of core analysis data in the end used in reservoir evaluation
- Of specific interest to those working in core analysis, porosity, relative permeability, and geomechanics
