Understanding Fluid Properties and Phase Behavior That Drive Superior Well Performance
Understanding Fluid Properties and Phase Behavior That Drive Superior Well Performance
Our Areas of Focus and Advantage:
Premier Corex PVT and organic geochemistry solutions provide detailed reservoir fluid properties that help our clients optimize well, reservoir, and production system simulations. They are also used to better understand which parts of the reservoir are being produced.
Premier Corex experts evaluate fluid composition, properties, and behavior through a range of standardized tests, such as constant composition expansion, differential liberation, constant volume depletion, as well as EOR-specific tests such as slim tubes, swell and vaporization experiments. The results are used to calibrate an equation-of-state for predicting reservoir fluid properties under different physical conditions. The origin of produced fluids can be interpreted by comparing produced fluid properties to results obtained from fluids extracted from drill cuttings or core samples.
Key Results:
Phase behavior of reservoir fluids
Compositional data
Oil and gas properties at both reservoir and surface conditions
Identification of formations contributing to production
Premier Corex PVT and organic geochemistry solutions generate valuable data for the calculation and valuation of resources and as inputs to reservoir models. Fluid properties are also used during special core analysis, EOR-related testing, and in well performance We provide PVT and organic geochemistry solutions with a quick-turn around producing high quality data that can be readily utilized in industry standard simulations.
