Advanced Rock Analysis

It has been said that core samples represent the ground truth in the search for oil and gas-that all other data is extrapolated. Still, the secrets inside the rocks must be extracted through rigorous examination and judicious interpretation. Such is the role of advanced rock analysis at Weatherford Laboratories. Here, a battery of sophisticated tests is conducted on reservoir rock samples to assess formation damage, relative permeability, electrical properties and capillary pressure. Because the pressure is on to make go/no-go production decisions, our Higher Standards help you predict everything from reservoir modeling to wellbore stability to future well locations more confidently and more accurately.
