Core and reservoir fluid research

Drilling muds Testing Laboratory conducts researches of the impact of drilling muds and process fluids on the reservoir properties.

Drilling muds Testing Laboratory has equipment for a full range of tests: from the manufacture of core samples to the study of reservoir producing characteristic.

Core studies:

• production of core samples of the required geometric shape
• extraction of samples, determination of oil and water saturation of rock
• drying of core samples under vacuum
• determination of absolute air permeability of core samples
• determination of open porosity, sample density
• determination of residual water saturation and wettability of reservoirs
• determination of the content of carbonates and clay in the rock
• determination of the grain composition of the rock
• reservoir producing characteristic researches

Reservoir fluid studies:

• determination of rheological characteristics
• determination of the density of petroleum products with a hydrometer
• determination of water content in oil products
