Special Core Analysis (SCAL) Laboratory
PERM Inc.’s Special Core Analysis (SCAL) Laboratory is an Advanced Laboratory Conducting Specialized Core Analysis Laboratory Experiments for the Oil & Gas Industry.
PERM Inc.'s Special Core Analysis Laboratory is located in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
SCAL Experts
Our team routinely combines tomographic imaging and NMR technology with special core analysis and enhanced oil recovery laboratory tests. This allows us to gain a deeper insight and visualization into what is occurring during laboratory experiments in a non-invasive manner, even at high temperatures and pressures.
PERM Inc. is one of the foremost experts at characterizing unconventional reservoirs with advanced SCAL tests in full diameter core at reservoir conditions.
Special Core Analysis Overview
PERM Inc. has spent over twenty years developing tools and techniques that are proprietary IP for characterizing conventional and unconventional core. We are very proud of our accomplishments in these areas and we continue to conduct research to allow us to tackle some very challenging issues and bring continuous improvements to the industry.
