(Calgary, AB) - January 12, 2016 - PERM Inc. has discovered a grant available from the Alberta government, called the Canada-Alberta Job Grant, that can help subsidize up to 66% of a training program cost (up to $10,000 per year) for Alberta based employees that wish to take additional training. There is a maximum of $300,000 [...]
Binu Asks PERM: Dear sir, I am planning to conduct a core flood experiment using a restored core of 7 cm length, 3 cm diameter, 14% porosity and liquid permeability of 50 mD. The PV of the core is 15 ml. Kindly tell me how to set the injection rate in ml/hr. Is there any rule [...]
Mamudu Asks PERM: Dear Sir/Madam, Can I get material from you that has detailed work examples where JBN is applied on experimental data with constant rate and variable pressure drops? Thank you for your anticipated assistance. Best Regards, Mamudu Dr. Jonathan Bryan from PERM Answers: Hello, Are you looking for a workflow of how to [...]
Julie Asks PERM: After re-trimming, is the water saturation just obtained by the subtraction of the volume of the initial plug to the re-trimmed plug? What I mean is, As, Sw=Vw/Vpore Sw: water saturation Vw: volume of water collected Vpore: pore volume Can we use this formula after retrimming: Sw = (Vw * Vpa) / (Vp*Vpore) [...]
Julie Asks PERM: I have two main questions if you could help me: -How to choose the pressure of gas if we want to measure the permeability of a reservoir rock? -When doing the saturation, is it possible that the pore volume is much higher than the fluid volume, if yes, what could be in the [...]
(Calgary, AB) - August 19, 2015 - PERM Inc. will be presenting tomorrow at the 2015 Society of Core Analysts Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland. If you plan on attending the SCA2015 Conference, then come on down and check out the talk. You can also let us know you are there and we can organize a meeting [...]
Hamzah from Ryerson University Asks PERM: I would like some guidance with respect to the selection of core dimensions for a laboratory polymer flooding experiment. Throughout my literature review, I have not come across justification for the core dimensions selection. Any assistance regarding this matter would be much appreciated. Thanking you, Hamzah Dr. Jonathan Bryan from [...]
Yahya from Southern California Asks PERM: Hello, I'm currently working on forced imbibition during hydraulic fracture process in tight gas formations. To investigate this phenomena, the reliable relative permeability for water/gas and capillarity pressure data play an essential role. I was interested in the method which you applied for calculating those data for unconventional reservoirs. I really [...]
