Special Core Analysis Data      

Special core analysis (SCAL) is often of critical importance in reservoir appraisal and development.  However, the data are usually sparse and often poorly understood. This short course aims to introduce some key issues in the use and abuse of these measurements. Topics include: sources of error in the acquisition, techniques in data analysis (with associated benefits and dangers) and new tools in data synthesis to maximise integrity and value.
