Manual Reservoir Permeability Tester

Manual Reservoir Permeability Tester

The permeability of a petroleum reservoir is one of the most influential parameters in determining the production capabilities of a producing formation. Permeability is a measure of the ability of a fluid to flow through a porous media when subjected to a differential pressure and is mathematically equated by Darcy’s law. The Reservoir Permeability Tester was developed to evaluate how fluids affect the permeability of a core specimen. In addition, the unit may be used to evaluate acidizing techniques and to develop typical Acid Response Curves.
