Abstract

This short communication discusses an enhanced sidewall coring solution. The advantages of this approach over traditional techniques are explored, along with the manner in which it enhances core recovery in reservoirs that were previously thought to be unreachable and how it revolutionizes (transforms) the analysis of these cores after they have been retrieved to the surface. This makes it possible to build more accurate reservoir models, which in turn improves the goals of field development plans (FDP).
