This presentation will focus on best practices for analyzing core and rotary plug samples from unconventional resource plays. The reality of current market conditions is that every dollar spent on rock characterization must add value to the specific well and to subsequent wells in the same play. Each component of the testing protocol has to serve a specific and well-defined purpose. In many cases the data must be delivered in a timeframe that can impact completion and stimulation decisions on the same well from which the samples were taken. This means that many long duration tests
are not going to add value and must be dropped or substituted for tests that can be done more rapidly. This is where the advantages of digital rock analysis can and should be exploited. Combining selected physical tests with digital rock analysis can not only accelerate reservoir characterization, but also reduce cost. Some recommended workflows and examples from North American shale plays will be shown and explained.
