Multipurpose Stressed Measurement System

Multipurpose Stressed Measurement System

Overview: 

 

The Multipurpose Stressed Measurement System was developed to fill the need for measurement of critical reservoir properties at elevated temperatures. This multifunction system accommodates a wide range of testing needs. Permeability and porosity along with electrical properties (F and m) can be measured as a function of effective stress up to 10,000 psi in a temperature controlled enclosure. The system is also capable of performing Co/Cw measurements used for the determination of Qv, which allows for the interpretation of low resistivity pay in shaly sands, and I/Sw measurements used for the interpretation of resistivity logs to determine actual reservoir saturations. Capillary pressure curves are also generated during I/Sw testing. Metarock Laboratories works closely with each client to design and deliver a Multipurpose Stressed Measurement System solution that ensures their specific testing needs are met.

 

This complete system consists of:

 

The specifications below are general in nature as each Multipurpose Stressed Measurement System is tailored to meet individual clients needs.
