What rock core size and flow rate should I use for a flow experiment?
Michael Asks PERM: Hello, I have 2 questions: I have chosen to quarry and core my rock samples to a dimension of 10inches in length and 1.5inches in diameter for my flow experiment. But many [...]
Correlations for Viscosity of Heavy Oil?
Yordi Asks PERM: Hello, In this moment we have many problems with properties of fluid because the oils have high viscosity (4000 to 10000 cP at Temperature of reservoir). All equations of viscosity have two [...]
Relative Permeability Curves for Nanofluids?
Fahad Asks PERM: Hello, Thanks for your assistance, my question is, how can we generate a relative permeability curve during laboratory core flooding tests. Suppose I want to see the effect of nanofluids in altering [...]
Thermal Conductivity Testing Max Temperature Questions
Patrick Asks PERM: Hello, Thank you for the information on thermal conductivity testing. I have a few additional questions if you don't mind: Can you perform thermal conductivity tests over various temperature ranges, and if [...]

CSPG Short Course on Using CT & NMR for Reservoir Characterization
(Calgary, AB) - Thursday April 27, 2017 - Dr. Jonathan Bryan will be teaching a Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG) Short Course on May 12, 2017. Check out the details below. CSPG SHORT COURSE: Using Computer [...]
MICP & Permeability Question?
Stephen Asks PERM: Hello, When conducting MICP analysis, I had always assumed that mercury was the non-wetting phase and air was the wetting phase. However, it the sample is evacuated of air prior to mercury injection, [...]
Can two fluids of differing densities mix in porous media?
Fran Asks PERM: Hello, I've been out of school for 40 years but once thought I knew a lot about MVTs (Mississippi Valley Type Lead/Zinc Deposits). We operated under a hypothesis that two fluids were involved: [...]
