Coring and Core Analysis

This PetroKnowledge Coring and Core Analysis training course is designed for those who want to 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 maximize the usage of such 3d real data in hand. By choosing this training course, all attendees will be able to 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.

All attendees will have, by the end of this training course, a strong knowledge on what analysis, lab work is used for, and even the type/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. 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 

This PetroKnowledge 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

The main goals of this Coring and Core Analysis training course are enriching the participants’ knowledge with in-depth core data, understanding of the coring procedure and importance, maximizing the usage of core analysis, learning the benefits of core interpreted data to geologists and engineers, creating the best justification several reservoir behavior ambiguities and linking all results in hand to future facies/zonation and modeling 

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

• Know the vital role of coring
• what to get from core analysis
• Maximize the usage of core data
• Understand and justify possible reservoir behavior ambiguities
• Apply interpreted core data to environment and facies

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of exploration, development and reservoir engineering staff but will greatly benefit:

• Petrophysicists
• All geologists and modeler
• Reservoir engineers
• Geophysicists

The instructor will involve the participants not only by showing and interpreting the course material together, in detail, but they will work together by projecting their previous knowledge onto the course. Some samples and videos will be also reviewed and discussed along with a self -evaluation point quizzes during the course path so the course will hopefully be more fruitful.

Companies sending their employees to attend this “Coring and Core Analysis” training course will have multiple benefits impact as:

• It will upgrade their staff with all related core knowledge
• Participants will learn the merge between core facies zonation and log correlation zones
• They will gain control on all core and coming data and report (quality, best usage, etc.)
• Enforcing the team work between petrophysicists, RE and sedimentologists
• Reshaping positively skills of all participants
• They will understand the vital role coring sedimentology can play

Participants will gain on personal basis both direct and indirect benefits as:

• They will enhance their sedimentological knowledge
• Establish and or fortify the core application onto G&G&E work
• Help in their career growth and put more weight to their personnel CV
• Emphasize and Hone more onto team work
• Enrich depositional environment and facies interpretation related experience
• Learn and understand more on reservoir characteristics
