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.
