Does Dean Stark Remove All Water in Tight Cores?
George Asks PERM: Dear PERM, I read a paper you co-authored with Taqa, SCA2015-020, and I wonder if you have any experience with running NMR logs on Montney cores post-Dean Stark cleaning. I found your [...]
How Can Capillary Pressure Oppose Flow of a Wetting Phase, Trapping Mechanisms
Muhammed Asks PERM: Dear PERM, When a wetting phase is displacing a non wetting phase, snapping off occurs as the potential gradient in the wetting phase across the flow segment is lower than the capillary [...]
Capillary Pressure Measurement for Semi-Permeable Diaphragm with Gas-Water-Oil System?
Yaho Asks PERM: Dear PERM, I want to know something about the semi-permeable diaphragm method especially about the wetting and the non-wetting fluid. Based on my knowledge in the case of gas/water system, just the [...]
Why Does IFT Increase When Displacing Oil by Water in a Water Wet Reservoir?
Muhammed Asks PERM: Dear sir, When displacing oil by water in a water wet reservoir, why does the interfacial tension increase when the oil thread gets smaller? Thank you, Muhammed Dr. Jonathan Bryan from PERM [...]
My Resistivity Index ‘n’ Values Make No Sense?
Zulq Asks PERM: Hello, I have run samples for Resistivity Index and got a lot of inconsistent data for the 'n' values. The data does not make sense. We have re-run samples and got different [...]

CSPG Short Course on CT & NMR
(Calgary, AB) - Friday March 9, 2018 - Dr. Jonathan Bryan will be teaching a Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG) Short Course on May 1, 2018. Check out the details below. CSPG SHORT COURSE: Using Computer [...]
In Hydraulic Fracturing why use a high capillary number? Why decrease Surface Tension?
Prachi Asks PERM: Hello, In hydraulic fracturing why it is preferable to use high capillary number in oil recovery system? Why it is preferable to decrease surface tension rather than increase in velocity? Thank you, [...]
Dean Stark Analysis Question Regarding Fluids Collected
Jeremie Asks PERM: Hello, I have one question regarding the Dean Stark Analysis for my oil sands core. After the analysis, can I get the clean sand, and the oil and the water, so I [...]
