Coca-Cola Company is one of the greatest known global beverage manufacturing companies with operation in over two hundred countries across the world. The company supply and distribute more than 2 billion unit cases of their products annually across their territories. The supply chain therefore plays a central role in the business and is responsible for the company`s procurement, planning, manufacturing, engineering and sustainability. Coca-Cola Company practices a variety of Incoterms, but the commonly practiced in the line of their transportation activities include Delivery Duty Paid (ADP), which involves the company paying all the charges involved in delivering the goods to the buyer (distributors). The company also uses EXW-EX Works. In this case, after the production process, the registered distributors take the full responsibility of the product from the company.

The Waterford lab in Oman is divided into several sections and each department has special tasks. The flow chart below shows the different sect
The Conventional core analysis department is about using different instrument in order to measure the porosity and permeability of fluids using Nitrogen and Helium gases. In addition porosity and permeability are important factors in petroleum.
This section provide an important data related to porosity and permeability in order to get a better understanding in reservoir and flow of different types of fluids using DHP (Digital Helium Porosimeter) and DGP (Digital Gas Porosimeter) devices also VINCI is one of the instruments that used for steady- state processes.
SCAL sectio
Special core analysis section are specialist in understanding petrophysical properties goes beyond special techniques with advance tests to help the client more in estimating their fields.
It is important to note however, that SCAl provide several services in MICP (mercury injection and capillary pressure), FRF (formation resistivity factor), and permeability of fluids especially water, CT scan, and flush cleaning using different solvents.
However, the department provides unique tests related to the above processes in order to ensure the delivery of good quality services and focus on saving costs to the customer.
Therefore, SCAL section is responsible for different fluid analysis at several stages in order to fulfil all the operational requirements and to achieve important results that optimize production and development of the fields.
