Testing and Sampling

Additional information that can aid in formation evaluation is actual samples of the reservoir fluids and pressures in the formation.

Pore pressure measurements for example can aid in determining permeability of the formation and viscosity of the fluids, identify fluid contact points, and are helpful in managing formation pressures and the drilling mud program.

By being able to capture samples from the formation, a number of fluid and formation properties can be monitored, including: resistivity/capacitance; viscosity; density; bubble point; compressibility; horizontal permeability; vertical permeability; and anisotropy.
GeoTap® IDS Sensor
LWD sensor allows downhole capture, identification and surface recovery of representative fluid samples.
GeoTap® Sensor
LWD formation tester obtains real-time direct pore pressure measurements.
Hostile Sequential Formation Tester (HSFT-II™) Tool
Wireline tool acquires formation pressure data and fluid samples in extreme conditions up to 450°F, 30,000 psi in boreholes as small as 4 inches in diameter.
Open Hole Wireline Test Tools
Open Hole Wireline Test Tools Gathers the test data necessary to properly evaluate reservoir potential and plan superior well completions.
RDT™ Focused Sampling Probe
Wireline tool provides representative samples of a well's formation fluid, and can monitor up to eight fluid and formation properties. Also provides pressure gradient testing.
Reservoir Description Tool (RDT™)
Wireline formation pressure testing and sampling runs should be quick, completed in a single descent, provide pure single phase fluid samples, and deliver the required pressure tests along with the associated mobilities and pressure gradients. The Halliburton Reservoir Description Tool (RDT™) employs several best in class features to help you meet these goals.
Sequential Formation Testing
Halliburton’s sequential formation testing tools gather the quality formation data required to evaluate reservoir potential and plan well completions. All parameters necessary for a successful test –accuracy, adaptability, speed, and reliability— are designed into our test tools.
