PEEG 218 Reservoir Rock Properties

Theoretical introduction to basic rock properties and their core-based measurements determined by conventional and special core analysis. It will be discussed how to obtain reliable core analysis data and the specific topics include porosity, permeability, Darcy�s law with applications/limitations, saturations, wettability, capillary pressure, relative permeability, resistivity, compressibility and the effect of stresses on rock mechanical properties. Laboratory experiments will reinforce concepts discussed in the classroom.
