Core-Analysis Elephant in the Formation-Evaluation Room

Journal of Petroleum Technology 

The variable data quality of core analysis, the sensitivity of results to different test methods, poor reporting standards, and the reluctance of some vendors to share experience and expertise have contributed to basic mistakes and poor data quality. In many cases, an inconsistent or inappropriate approach to the design, management, and interpretation of the core-analysis program has been adopted and exacerbated by the conflicting requests from the end users. A core-analysis-management road map was designed to increase the value from core-analysis investments by enabling a more-proactive, more-coherent, and more-consistent approach to program design and data acquisition. In hydrocarbons-in-place and core analysis, the volume of stock-tank oil initially in place in a reservoir can be calculated. The gross rock volume and gross factor in the net-/gross-pay ratio are the primary responsibilities of geophysicists and geologists.
