Abstract: A method of coring to preserve subterranean soluble salt cements gives careful consideration to the selection and use of drilling fluids, specific logging of the zone of interest, displacing the near wellbore with an agent that when cured has either bound all subterranean water or cemented up all the available pore space, coring of the target formation zone containing the cured agent and retrieval of pressurized core material that allows CT scanning.

Abstract: A method includes pumping an agent in a well across a target formation zone with rocks containing soluble salt cement. The agent is injected into pore space within the target formation zone extending a radial distance from the well using pressure, and the agent is allowed to cure in the pore space. The method further includes taking a core of the target formation zone containing the cured agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of taking a core sample of a formation. The method includes reducing a viscosity of a water binding starting material in a pumping form. The water binding starting material includes at least one polymer, at least one cross linker capable of curing the at least one polymer and a retarder capable of delaying cross linking of the at least one polymer. At least one additive is added to the water binding starting material to reduce the viscosity of the water binding starting material to less than 2 times of a viscosity of water at a selected temperature. The method further includes pumping the water binding starting material into a borehole in a formation, allowing the water binding starting material to cure in the formation, and taking the core sample from the formation containing the cured water binding starting material.

Abstract: Methods and systems for updating a geological model of a subsurface region are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first non-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) well log and a core sample from a first wellbore, and determining a hydrocarbon pore volume (HcPV) prediction method. The method also includes obtaining, from a second wellbore, a second non-NMR well log and an NMR log, determining a measured HcPV based on the NMR well log, and predicting the predicted HcPV using the second non-NMR well log and the HcPV prediction method. The method further includes determining a calibrated HcPV prediction method based on the predicted HcPV, wherein the calibrated HcPV prediction method comprises a calibrated facies prediction method, obtaining a third non-NMR well log from a third wellbore, predicting a calibrated facies using the third non-NMR well log and the calibrated facies prediction method, and updating the geological model based on the calibrated facies.
