2. Core Clea ning
There are basically two main ca~gories of core analysts tests that are performed
on core samples regarding physical proJ>ertles of reservoir rocks. These are:
Special Tests
0 Overburden Pressure
0 Capillary Pressu.r e
0 Relative Permeability
□ Wettability
0 Surface and Interfadal Tension
Porosity MeasureU1ents
0 Du:11t:U1siuual Maasui-e1nents
0 Displacement of Liquid
This method involves the independent determination of oil, gas and pure water
volumes of a fresh core sample. A sample of approximately 20 to 30 cc bulk
volume is used. The oil and water cau be obtained by retort or distillation
method and the gas by mercury injection. The pore volume is determined by
summing the three independent volumes .
