Carbonate cores require special approaches and techniques to obtain appropriate data from core analysis due to their complex nature.

This paper discusses various challenges faced and presents an integrated approach to the study of carbonate cores.

Comparative analysis of the results obtained from standard and special carbonate rocks core analyses are presented. While carbonate rocks operations key difficulties encountered from core acquisition to long term storage are highlighted.
