Core Analysis: Combining Expertise for Insight into the Reservoir

摘要

Managing an asset to optimize oil or gas production requires knowing reservoir rock and fluid properties. For example, planning well locations relies on predictions of porosity and other rock properties from seismic surveys. Stimulation and completion designs depend on knowledge of geomechanical strength and permeability from logging and core measurements. Reservoir simulation demands data on a wide range of properties of the formation rocks and fluids on many scales to engineer field production. Evaluation of the rocks and the fluids within them is vital for reservoir development and management throughout the life of a field.
