Chapter 1 Introduction To Rock Properties

This document provides an overview of reservoir rock properties and outlines topics that will be covered in the syllabus, including rock compressibility, porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, wettability, capillary pressure, relative permeability, and electrical properties. It discusses different methods for collecting core samples from reservoirs using whole core samplers or side-wall core samplers. The introduction also distinguishes between routine core analysis, which measures porosity, permeability and fluid saturation, and special core analysis, which evaluates additional properties like compressibility, electrical characteristics, and relative permeability.
