It is a automated, modular Core Flooding system that is configured for unsteady-state relative permeability tests. Core Flooding experiments in single and multi phase displacements are available in manual and automatic mode, addition of the gas delivery system allow performance of gas displacement experiments. In addition to relative permeability experiments the system is capable of performing a range of reservoir quality assessment experiments including: critical velocity, brine sensitivity, return permeability and acid sensitivity. This system is specifically configured to take advantage of Core Laboratories many years of performing waterflooding and simulation experiments.
