Analyze, characterize, and better understand dense-hydrocarbon properties
Successful analysis and characterization of heavy oils require the collection of representative reservoir fluids. Schlumberger collects homogenous, single-phase, heavy oil samples at the surface and in downhole openhole and cased-hole environments.
PVT and specialized studies for stock-tank and live oils
Our global laboratories offer
- HPHT PVT studies at pressures to 15,000 psi and temperatures to 250 degC
- solvent studies, including miscibility, swelling, and PVT analyses
- vapor-liquid equilibria of live oil with solvent, water, or both at high temperatures
- solids detection of asphaltenes using a high-pressure microscope and solids detections system
- live-oil and dead-oil rheology
- porous-media flow studies using sandpacks or etched-plate micromodels
- live-oil emulsion generation and demulsifier chemical testing
- live foamy oil studies and defoamer chemical testing
- apparent viscosities and kinetics of gasbubble formation in foamy oils
- hydrate formation conditions.
