FLUID ANALYSIS
Understanding fluid behaviour for better reservoir performance.
Fluid behaviour influences every stage of reservoir development, from drilling and completion through to production and recovery. Premier Corex delivers integrated laboratory testing and technical expertise to help operators optimise fluid performance, reduce operational risk and make confident engineering decision.
The Challenge
Understanding how reservoir fluids, production chemistry and treatment fluids interact with the formation is essential for successful field development.
Without reliable laboratory data, operators risk compatibility issues, formation damage, poor stimulation performance, scaling, corrosion and reduced production efficiency.
Fluid interactions can significantly impact reservoir performance.
Our Solution
Delivering the laboratory data and technical insight needed to understand fluid behaviour and optimise reservoir performance.
From water composition and stimulation fluid evaluation to wettability studies, oil characterisation and formation sensitivity testing, our specialists work with operators to deliver practical solutions tailored to each reservoir and production challenge.
Fluid Analysis Capabilities
-
Water Characterzation
Characterising formation, produced and source waters to optimise fluid design, evaluate compatibility and support treatment decisions.
