The following is a brief description of the unique
features is each of the above core ooding systems:
Acidization Studies: Unique reverse ow option so that uid
can be injected in either ow direction in the core sample. This
allows the end user to measure the ultimate return permeability. The
system incorporates the pressure tapped core holders, so that the user
can determine the depth of penetration of the acid response to the
test core sample.
Acid Foam Rheology Studies: The foam is generated using a unique
shearing mechanism developed at the University of Tulsa, or the liquid
and gas mixture is pushed through a long shear tube. This foam can
then be injected in the core sample for testing.
Drilling Mud Invasion: Please refer to the Formation Damage core
ooding system that offers a high pressure drilling mud circulation
pump, unique formation damage core holders, and reverse ow
options.
Enhanced Oil Recovery: Flow design to allow for secondary recovery,
multiple slugs of various chemicals for Enhanced oil recovery studies,
options for gas injection, and liquid CO2 injections. Pressure tapped
core holders are utilized to monitor the ow of the recovered oil as it
moves down the length of the core sample.
Formation Damage Core Flooding: System that offers a high pressure
drilling mud circulation pump, unique formation damage core holders,
and reverse ow options.
Miscibility Flow studies: A slimtube is added prior to the core holder
for the mixing of the Liquid and Gas mixture, prior to the injection of
the mixture into the core sample.
MRI/NMR Core Flooding: Incorporates the non-magnetic FCH series
core holders for measurement of the uids in either high or low eld
MRI.NMR measurement devices. These core holders are placed on
the measurement device and then any of the above core ooding
systems is utilized with the core holder.
Relative Permeability Core Flooding: Tests for steady state or
unsteady state relative permeability. Liquid metering pumps are
available for one or two phase injections. Metering pumps are also
available for re-circulation of the test uids. Gas injection using
gas mass ow controllers. A two or three phase separator can be
incorporated into the design for phase level measurement of the
produced uids/gases at pressure and temperature.
Secondary and Tertiary Water Flooding: See the Enhanced Oil
Recovery system above.
X-ray Core Scanning: Incorporates the FCH series of core holders
for linear or CT X-ray scanning. These core holders are placed on
the measurement device and then any of the above core ooding
systems is utilized with the core holder.
Each of these systems are available with computer data acquisition and
control. Temco also offers in-house training, and on-site installation and
training. Temco uses many of the components as outlined in the Temco
catalog for these systems. Please refer to the individual catalog sheets
for the specic information regarding a particular item.
