Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003265

An acronym for Special Core Analysis, a set of laboratory measurements performed on reservoir rock samples to determine properties that depend on the interaction between fluids and the rock matrix. These tests provide data on multiphase flow behavior, including relative permeability, capillary pressure, and wettability. SCAL results are distinct from routine core analysis, which measures basic properties like porosity and absolute permeability.
