Reservoir Testing Services

 

Reservoir permeability is often just as important as coal thickness and gas content. CGT offers state-of-the-art Reservoir Transient Testing of coals and shales, with techniques based on specific needs of the exploration program, including:

Drill Stem Testing (openhole during drilling);

Injection/Falloff Testing (openhole or cased hole);

Interference Testing (multi-well test for directional perm. & compressibility).

Long-Term Production/Shut-In Testing (on stimulated or unstimulated wells)

CGT owns all the equipment needed for conducting Injection/Falloff tests in water-saturated wells. This hydrology equipment includes:

Inflatable Packers for straddling zones with diameters up to 11” (280 mm);

Low-Rate, High-Pressure Injection Pump with rates from 0.1 to 10 lpm;

Downhole, Surface-Readout Pressure Gauge with automatic data logging.

Acquired data is analyzed with state-of-the-art software for modern derivative analysis (licensed from Fekete) or based on classical methods (CGT software).
