Training - Routine and Special Core Analysis – Theory & Practical

Course Title: Routine and Special Core Analysis – Theory & Practical

Course Reference Code: RSCA/UK/001

Course Duration: Duration 1 Week – 6 Months


An in-depth course in Coring, Core Analysis and Formation Evaluation. The course will focus on the need for quality coring procedures and analytical techniques to acquire good data for reservoir models. Examples will be given on how to design a Core Analysis programme for a specific reservoir. There will be an introductory section on Special Core Analysis. This will be one on one tuition with both technical and practical work.
