48 Setting up SCAL facilities in Kazakhstan and training staff in the most important techniques ought to be relatively straightforward – partnerships with existing international service providers would seem a sensible way to move forward quickly. The opportunity exists for Kazakhstan to become a regional hub for core analysis services. Kazakhstan Upstream oil & gas technology and R&D roadmap
1.4 Core analysis and data interpretation Challenge commentary Routine core analysis and special core analysis (SCAL) are key to improving our understanding of oil and gas reservoirs and gaining a true estimate of their reserves. The data from these various analyses drives field development decisions and drilling campaigns. Unfortunately, local Kazakhstan capability in this area is limited and most of the work has to be done overseas, which leads to higher costs, inconvenience, and delays. Moreover, full or partial cores cannot be exported from Kazakhstan; only limited plugs from the core are allowed out of the country and this takes a long time to arrange. This erodes the value of the core, creates uncertainties with analysis results and severely holds up development decisions. There is also an inability in Kazakhstan to conduct core displacement tests with live sour fluids. These tests are hazardous and can only be done in Edmonton, Canada. Considering how many large sour fields there are in Kazakhstan, it would make huge sense to bring this technology into the country. It would raise understanding of relative permeability and help determine remaining oil saturations, thus accelerating the development of sour fields. The challenge is to establish core analysis laboratories in country capable of providing services that match those available internationally. The staff for these core analysis laboratories will need to suitably trained; particularly important will be the development of expertise in analysing carbonate reservoir cores and carrying out studies, for example, designed to mimic the acid treatment of these cores at abnormally high temperatures and pressures.
