Retrieval and analysis of cores is essential to all phases of the petroleum industry. Cores offer the only opportunity to obtain intact, vertically continuous samples that allow the visual examination of depositional sequences and variations in reservoir character. Properly analyzed cores provide data available from no other source; these data should provide direct evidence of the presence, quantity, distribution, and deliverability of hydrocarbons. 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.
