Description
This comprehensive, hands-on professional course is designed to bridge the gap between physical laboratory measurements and robust reservoir simulation. Participants will delve deep into the principles, experimental setups, and application workflows ofSpecial Core Analysis (SCAL). You will gain the critical skills required to design laboratory programs, quality-control experimental data, and integrate laboratory results into static and dynamic reservoir models to optimize field development.
Key Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to
- Understand the fundamental differences between Routine Core Analysis (RCA) and advanced SCAL.
- Screen and select representative core samples for laboratory testing.
- Master the physics behind multiphase fluid flow in porous media.
- Interpret complex laboratory outputs to reduce uncertainty in hydrocarbon-in-place and recovery factor calculations.
Course Syllabus & Major Topics
The curriculum covers state-of-the-art experimental techniques and data interpretation workflows
-Core Preparation & Conditioning: Cleaning protocols (Dean-Stark and Soxhlet extraction), sample selection via X-ray CT scanning, and the restoration of reservoir wettability.
-Wettability and Capillary Pressure ($P_c$): Measuring wettability using Amott-Harvey and USBM index methods; assessing capillary pressure via Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure (MICP), porous plate, and centrifuge techniques.
-Multiphase Flow Properties: Steady-state and unsteady-state relative permeability ($k_r$) testing under simulated reservoir conditions.
-Electrical Properties: Determining Archie's parameters, specifically the cementation exponent ($m$) and saturation exponent ($n$), to calibrate resistivity logs.
-Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) SCAL: Utilizing advanced core flooding rigs to test polymer, surfactant, and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) injection scenarios.
Hands-on Software Integration
A core component of this training involves translating raw laboratory outputs into clean, digital inputs for engineering workflows. Participants will gain practical experience using leading industry software
-Sendra &CYDAR: For history-matching core flood experiments and analytical relative permeability estimation.
-Techlog &Interactive Petrophysics (IP): For quality-controlling, processing, and integrating SCAL parameters directly into petrophysical evaluation models.
Who Should Attend
This course is highly recommended for Petrophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Geoscientists, and Laboratory Technicians who want to master the journey of a core sample from the reservoir to the simulation model.
