Reservoir Fluid Analysis Services
Phase Behavior and PVT
Texas Experiment Lab provides standard and customized PVT testing services to deliver the needed data for reservoir engineering purposes and to optimize the design for the processes and facilities. PVT studies can be carried out on representative fluid samples collected from different reservoir fluid types including black oil, gas condensate, and near-critical fluids. ​We are well-equipped to provide the following lab tests:
-
Live and recombined reservoir fluids preparation and validation
-
Constant composition expansion (CCE), Constant volume depletion (CVD), and Differential liberation experiment (DLE)
-
Gas swelling, Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) and Enrichment (MME) measurements
-
Multi-contact solubility testing studies
-
Reservoir Fluids compositional analysis
-
Oil-Brine-CO2 phase behavior testing studies
-
Viscosity measurements
-
EOS modelling
Corrosion Management
Texas Experiment Lab offers a series of experiments to investigate the corrosion tendency of the reservoir fluids, chemicals, acids, etc and evaluate the performance of the corrosion inhibitors.
