description The unconsolidated sandstone heavy oil reservoir is dominated by heterogeneous elastic-plastic reservoir with complex structure. The core demand is large in the study of reservoir lithology and physical properties. Although the high-cost freezing and encapsulation processes are used in the process of coring site and indoor processing, they are still easy to damage in the process of extracting cores. Moreover, the physical parameters of ordinary artificial cores are too different from those of producing cores to obtain accurate lithology and physical parameters. So, replacing the production cores with outcrop cores may become an important method to study the physical parameters of reservoirs. In this paper, the micro-velocity displacement method and saturated heavy oil method are used to study the lithology and physical property parameters of outcrop cores. The results show that compared with those of producing cores, the rock mechanics parameters of outcrop cores after high-pressure heavy oil saturation treatment are basically consistent with those of field cores. Therefore, it can be used to replace the core to study the physical parameters of rocks in special cases.
