This fully equipped laboratory provides the following conventional and special rock property studies.
- Determination of porosity by liquid saturation, gas expansion, and resistivity methods.
- Determination of absolute, effective and relative permeabilities by steady-state and unsteady-state methods under reservoir conditions of pressure and temperature.
- Determination of capillary pressure by porous diaphragm, centrifuge, and mercury injection methods.
- Grain size analysis by sieve method.
- Core preparation and analysis
