FES 350-Formation Evaluation System

Description

The FES350 warrants permeability variation studies on cylindrical core samples by exposing them to an ample range of test fluids. Fluids can be axially injected through the core in either direction or tangentially circulated across one of the flat end faces. This chemically impervious device handles at temperatures up to 300 F (150 °C) all types of cleaning treatments as well as corrosive fluid injections. System operation is entirely computer controlled by an automation package that allows precise monitoring and flow path control. A Windows based Vinci software allows the user to run automated test sequences for optimum versatility. Test data is graphically displayed and logged to the hard disk at specified time intervals.

Benefits

* Drilling mud tests are performed under realistic field conditions by flowing the fluids tangentially to the face of the core, thanks to a special leak-off core holder.
* Mud pump flow rate of 3 l/min max ensures an efficient shear rate to simulate the real operating conditions
