OVERVIEW

Special Core Analysis (SCAL)

Wettability, relative permeability (water-oil, gas-oil, gas-water), capillary pressure (porous plate, ultra-centrifuge, mercury injection), rock-fluid compatibility, electrical resistivity measurements, acoustic velocities, dynamic rock mechanics as well as other specialized services.

Most of the laboratory procedures listed can be performed at elevated reservoir pressures and temperatures. Live reservoir fluids can also be recombined and used. Many other special tests and test sequences can be designed to identify particular reservoir and production problems. Numerous cleaning, drying and sample handling procedures are available. Test results are available in many personal computer formats.
