Careful examination and recording of information from continuous cores provide critical data for stratigraphic correlation, environmental interpretation, and wireline log calibration. Core plugs provide samples for analysis of [[porosity]], [[permeability]], fluid saturation, and a host of compositional and textural studies. Recommendations for the well site and laboratory handling of cores as well as sedimentological analyses are described by Siemers et al.)<ref name=pt05r145>Siemers, C. T., Tillman, R.
