Our Main Services

At PERM Inc., we specialize in designing, building, and executing custom experimental and modelling projects. We build our own core flooding rigs—from core holders to advanced data acquisition systems and software—to meet the exact needs of your experiments. We handle all types of core floods, relative permeability and all SCAL tests, offering fully tailored setups and expert guidance to determine the most effective Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method for your case.

Heavy Oil and Bitumen Recovery Strategies

Our laboratory is a world leading expert in heavy oil and bitumen recovery technologies, including thermal solvent and chemical methods. We also pioneer hybrid technologies.

Special Core Analysis

PERM Inc. designs custom core flooding rigs for all experiment types and is a trusted provider of core floods, relative permeability and all SCAL tests. Contact us to create a setup tailored to your needs.

Digital Core Analysis

We integrate data from CT, micro-CT, SEM, EM, NMR, and other sensors into advanced models to calculate pore-scale properties and generate accurate core analysis data and upscaling algorithms.

Reservoir Characterization with NMR

This powerful, non-destructive technology determines fluid saturations in both emulsified fluids and porous core rock.

EOR for Conventional and Tight Reservoirs

We evaluate the best Enhanced Oil Recovery method for your case, offering customization to ensure optimal results.

Thermal Recovery Laboratory

We have a specialized laboratory that deals with thermal recovery studies, reaching up to 250ºC+ for full diameter cores and core plugs. This is used in testing how heat affects fluid flow and recovery efficiency in reservoir rocks—especially for heavy oil and bitumen.
