Lab Capabilities  


POWELTEC laboratory equipment and methods have been optimized within the R&D activity performed by IFP. Basically, the design of a WSO treatment or of a Polymer Flood pilot requires the optimization of the formulation via bulk tests and the evaluation of the actual performances in the reservoir via core-flood experiments.


Core-flood equipment:
Two core-flood set-ups can be used to perform flow experiments in actual reservoir conditions (up to 150°C). Polymer performance is checked by its selective effect on water/oil or water/gas permeability. Mobility/Permeability reduction can be determined in a broad range of injection rates.
The set-up enables measurement of dynamic polymer adsorption in the core.

Core-flood equipment:
 

Bulk tests:
A range of laboratory equipment is available to check polymer/gel solution properties and stability under reservoir conditions (rheometers,analyzers)

Bulk tests:
