Wireline formation testing
Formation pressure, downhole fluid analysis, fluid sampling, and sidewall coring
Understand the fluid contents to understand your reservoir
Determining how fluid behaves in the reservoir requires collecting data at reservoir conditions. Our broad range of industry-leading products and services makes it possible to efficiently accomplish downhole pressure measurement and representative fluid analysis and sampling in what are challenging environments for conventional technology: low-permeability or unconsolidated formations, heavy oil, and rugose boreholes.

Digitalize your waterflooding for a sustainable mature field
Secondary recovery (e.g., water injection) is now safer, more efficient, and more sustainable with digital tech.
Without formation testing to acquire pressure and fluid measurements and samples, you cannot fully characterize your reservoir and maximize production.
Contextual formation insights with lower carbon intensity
Performed using the Ora™ intelligent wireline formation testing platform, deep transient testing (DTT) increases the radius of investigation to provide a greater understanding of reservoir fluids. Determine hydrocarbons in place, zonal deliverability, and commercial viability with zero flaring.
