COURSE OVERVIEW
This intensive course, offering a unique opportunity for professionals who wish to gain both theoretical and experimental knowledge in core analysis. The program addresses a wide range of core analysis topics and supports reservoir engineers in making more informed decisions and improving the interpretation and application of SCAL data. This comprehensive Special Core Analysis (SCAL) course is designed to bridge the gap between laboratory measurements and field-scale reservoir applications. It covers the theoretical foundations of SCAL and examines how SCAL data are incorporated into reservoir simulation models, along with the associated technical challenges.
Reservoir engineers working in the industry may choose to attend specific modules or participate in the full program, depending on their learning objectives and professional needs.
