Development of petrophysical measurements and the related instruments

Select and jump to section

Overview

Measurement and determination of petrophysical parameters which are necessary for the exploration, resource estimation and cultivation of hydrocarbon fields and water bodies, involving investigation of physical and chemical parameters which fulfil the special needs of the construction and chemical industry.

Competencies

I.

The determination of the desired parameters usually take place directly on a sample formed from a drilling core brought to the surface by deep drilling. If there is no drilling core available or in case of special needs, we are able to manufacture artifically consolidated porous sample bodies of the desired properties and composition by applying materials which fulfil the need of the industry, and then the storage, conductive, insulating, physical, mechanical and rheological properties of the porous system can be analyzed and modeled. Our devices can ensure both laboratory and desired pT condition analysis.

II.

Researches of our Institute have a long-time experience in the fields of recovery factor enhancement, storage protection and formation treatment. In the past decades we have performed hundreds of successful experiments influencing fluid transport processes on core samples both from Hungary and abroad, and also on artificially consolidated rock samples. During the measurements we modeled the migration of the hydrocarbon, the saturation equilibrium states before (primary production state), during and after EOR/EGR treatment and the corresponding pressure conditions (permeability changes).
