Downhole viscometer
THE HIGH PRESSURE VISCOSITY AND DENSITY METER DESIGNED FOR DOWNHOLE APPLICATIONS
The Sofeat is a state of the art instrument specially designed for HPHT applications and harshest environments like oil drilling.
Compact and robust, it is easily integrated on MWD/LWD systems which are sent downhole at various kilometers below Earth surface in order to make in-situ measurements in extreme conditions of pressure and temperature.
Viscosity and density are instantaneously measured and continuously sent to the surface thanks to a high temperature electronics
BENEFITS
• Measurement of bottomhole crude
• Better formation evaluation by direct viscosity measurement
• Better accuracy and repeatability than other techniques used to deduce viscosity
• Quantification of fluid variations in real time
• Better spectroscopic models using measured viscosity rather than calculation
SPECIFICATION
• High pressure at High temperature (1100 bars @ 200°C)
• Robust- Long lasting
• simultaneous viscosity and density measurement
• High temperature transducer (125°C) with digital output
TYPICAL APPLICATION FIELDS
• Oil drilling
• MWD, LWD
• HPHT
