Core Analysis Lab

MAIN OBJECTIVE:

Furnish both Geological & Engineering information.
Guide the decision affecting both the cored and subsequent wells in the area.
Direct physical measurement along-with down-hole well logs and other well-test data to the best development decisions.
Produces the most basic data about a reservoir:

 

The presence or absence of hydrocarbon.
  The storage capacity (Porosity).
  The flow capacity and its distribution (Permeability).
     
  EQUIPMENT/FUNCTION (Service available):
     
    Dean-Stark Apparatus:
     
  To determine the quantity of hydrocarbons accumulated in a porous rock formation.
  Residual fluids in the recovered core reflect the quantity and type of fluids present at reservoir conditions.
     
    Core Measuring System(CMS-300):
     
  An integrated ,automated computer directed permeameter & porosimeter.
  Determines sample length, sample diameter, porosity, pore volume, air permeability at a specified mean pressure, klinkenberg  permeability,        Forchheimer inertial Factor and Klinkenberg  measured slippage correction  factor.
