Routine Core Analysis
Routine Core Analysis
Definition: The set of measurements normally carried out on core plugs or whole core.
Routine core analysis is distinct from special core analysis (SCAL). Recommended practices for routine core analysis
are available in the API document RP40.
Cores are essential to understanding the nature of the pore system in the potential reservoir unit. The
knowledge gained from cores enhances our ability to predict reservoir performance and to select procedures to
maximize profitable hydrocarbon recovery.
