15 CO 2 SOLVENT CORE CLEANER (CSC 70) The core Cleaner is a device for cleaning crude oil, drilling mud liquids, and water from a single piece of whole core or from a batch of core plug samples. The principle consists of filling the gas filled space in the core with solvent (e.g. toluene) by surrounding the core with a suitable solvent containing dissolved CO 2 gas and applying sufficient hydraulic pressure. The solvent mixes with oil in the core and subsequent depressurizing to atmospheric pressure removes residual oil from the core. A number of repeated cycles are required to clean the core of hydrocarbons. The apparatus fits into a standard size floor hood. The cleaning chamber is a pressure vessel heated electrically with a two-kilowatt, 220-volt heater enclosed in an explosion proof housing. The solvent is pumped from an onboard supply tank to the cleaning vessel with a high pressure pump. A cyclone separator with a stainless steel-packed, water-cooled after-cooler is provided to separate the CO 2 and the used hot solvent when the vessel is drained. The used toluene drains into an explosion proof electric still where it is recovered and delivered back to the clean solvent supply. The still operation is automatic. The process controls are housed in a nonexplosion proof box intended to be mounted outside of the hood.

69 AUTOMATED HP-HT ACOUSTIC VELOCITY SYSTEM (AVS 700-HT) The AVS 700-HT apparatus allows for the measurement of acoustic velocity of a core sample under various levels of pore pressure and radial/axial confining pressures at reservoir temperature. The apparatus permits to propagate compressional and shear waves S1 and S2 through core samples, generate and measure the pore pressure and confining pressure, calculate acoustic velocity at reservoir conditions and determine dynamic elastic constants (Poisson ratio and Young modulus). The system consists of three automated pumps and a fully equipped acoustic triaxial coreholder housed in a constant temperature air bath to restore the reservoir conditions on the core sample. One pump cylinder is used to generate and control the pore pressure while the other two pump cylinders are used to generate the axial and radial confining pressures. A pulser-receiver is used to produce an electrical pulse to excite a piezoelectric transducer and an oscilloscope measures the travel time of the pulse between the two transducers. This data is then used to calculate the acoustic velocity of the core sample.

70 AGING CELL APPARATUS (ACA 700) The apparatus is designed for aging core samples with crude oil so as to restore its reservoir wettability before being used for a SCAL study. The base version is delivered with five core units. The aging method entails first saturating a cleaned (and thus water wet) core plug with brine. The brine is then displaced by crude oil until representative initial water saturation is achieved. During this process the smaller pores remain water filled, whereas the oil invades the remainder of the pore space, leaving thin water films on the pore walls and in crevices. Finally, the core containing crude oil and connate water is left for many weeks at reservoir temperature and pressure. It is at this stage that wettability changes may occur in the oil-invaded pores. However, these changes are dependant upon the stability of the water wet films, trapped between the rock surface and the oil. The pore walls can only become oil-wet if contacted by oil due to the rupture of these films. In this case the core will have achieved a mixed wettability state status. Operating pressure up to 700 bar (10,000 psi) Operating temperature up to 150 C Core sample diameter 1 and 1.5 Core sample length 1 to 3 Fluid flow rate up to 10 cc/min Wetted part Stainless steel Air requirement 2,000 psi Power supply 220VAC, 50Hz 70/100

72 HASSLER COREHOLDER (HAS SERIES) The HAC Series core holders are standard Hassler type core holders used for fluid flow testing. With the coreholder assembled and the sleeve in place the core is inserted into the loading end. The platen is then pushed in and held in place by the cap which can be screwed on by hand and allows 50 mm adjustement. Further adjustment is possible with the use of interchangeable spacers fitted to the loose platen. An inlet and outlet distribution plug allows fluids and gases to be injected through the core sample. A unique feature of the HAC series core holder is that the sleeve remains in place and the core is loaded from one end without having to drain or refill the confining fluid. By releasing the confining radial pressure and unscrewing the end plug, the core sample can be easily removed without exposing it to the annulus fluid. The core holders can be provided to have interchangeable core diameters.

73 HYDROSTATIC COREHOLDER (HYC SERIES) The HYC Series core holders are standard hydrostatic type core holders in which radial and axial confining pressures are common. These core holders are routinely used for gas and liquid permeability testing and water flooding experiments. The coreholder has a fixed platen at one end over which the rubber sleeve is mounted and located in the other end of the sleeve is a floating platen connected via a ¼ diameter tubing passing through the outside. For variable length cores, this design insures solid contact between the platen and core sample. To change a core sample the confining fluid must be drained off and the knurled screwed ring removed by rotating anti clockwise by hand. This will withdraw the fixed platen together with the sleeve, core and floating platen. After removal of the two platens from the sleeve the core can be withdrawn. Loading a new core sample is carried out in the reverse order. The advantage of this type of coreholder is that the overburden pressure acts on the end of the core as well as the diameter. The coreholder can be equipped with a number of pressure taps molded in the sleeve at discrete locations required by the end user. This design allow to monitor the pressure drop along the length of the core sample during fluid flow tests. Electrical pressure tap can also be provided to monitor the resistivity of the core sample during a permeability test.
