Fines Migration System

Overview:
 
Our Core Flooding & Fines Migration System is built to meet your research needs and can be used to perform the following tests at elevated temperatures and pressures:
Miscible flow through sample cleaning
Vacuum saturation/determination of pore volume at stress
Absolute liquid permeability
Dead crude core flooding
Brine core flooding
Fines migration
AC Resistance measurement @ 1kHz allows for determination of Ro, F, & m
Desaturation using porous plates
