"Core analysis is an important source for quantitative data on reservoir properties. These data are input for modelling of distribution and flow of oil and gas reservoirs, storage of CO2, and hydrogen and flow behavior in geothermal reservoirs. While there are several books on core analysis for practitioners in these fields, this book fills a gap for students and introduces the basic laboratory equipment and procedures used in core analysis and the theoretical aspects of the parameters. It offers detailed instructions on experimental execution for core analysis for persons with limited to no experience starting in the laboratory. Emphasizes the basic characterization of porous material for multiphase flow, specifically consolidated natural materials. Features methods that are part of the special core analysis standardly executed within the oil and gas industry, with the extension to the upcoming topic of gas storage complemented with occasional references to research-oriented equipment. Offers a detailed description of laboratory exercises and instructions on data analysis suitable for student work. Includes solutions to some exercises to show the application of the measured parameters in reservoir evaluation. Provides a unique combination of short discussion of the basic theory of the parameter, explanation of the experimental principles, detailed experimental procedures and data analysis, with multiple laboratory related example problems. This concise and practical workbook is written for advanced students and early career practitioners in petroleum, chemical, and geotechnical engineering"-- Provided by publisher.
