Real-time downhole fluid analysis
InSitu Fluid Analyzer
Real-time fluid answers from a downhole laboratory
By investigating fluids at their source, you gain a deeper insight into fluid composition and distribution for improving your understanding of the reservoir. The InSitu Fluid Analyzer™ real-time downhole fluid analysis system is more than just a wireline tool; it is essentially a fully functioning laboratory downhole that provides real-time comprehensive representative characterization of reservoir fluids at reservoir conditions. The system integrates InSitu™ downhole quantitative properties measurements, which features various sensors. Along with flowline pressure and temperature, the modular downhole fluid analysis portfolio includes a wide range of metrology.
Real-time downhole fluid analysis is easily integrated with the Ora™ intelligent wireline formation testing platform.
