AGEÂ standard hydraulic wireline packer test equipment (SWiPS and STX) is available to suit NQ, HQ and PQ-sized cored holes, and can be employed in a single or straddle configuration to test formation permeability (transmissivity) in large or more specific zones.
Single Hydraulic Test Equipment is designed for testing cored holes whilst drilling progresses to greater depths.
When a Lugeon test zone of interest is identified in the retrieved core sample, the drill rods are moved back a suitable distance such that the deployed packer equipment can be inflated above the zone of interest. Once inflated (using water), permeability testing can commence by injection of water at varying pressures and recording correspondent flow rates for analysis. Injection pressure can be controlled via a bypass system on the injection flowmeter board, supplied as part of the standard equipment.
AGEÂ Hydraulic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is available for hire or sale and, if required, a suitably trained operator can assist with operations or the training of on-site staff.
Straddle Hydraulic Test Equipment is designed for testing specific zones of cored holes, once drilling to total depth is complete.
When a permeability zone of interest is identified in the retrieved core sample, the drill rods are moved back a suitable distance such that the deployed packer equipment can be inflated straddling the zone of interest. Once inflated (using water), transmissivity testing can commence by injection of water at varying pressures and recording correspondent flow rates for analysis. Injection pressure can be controlled via a bypass system on the injection flowmeter board, supplied as part of the standard equipment.
AGEÂ Hydraulic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is available for hire or sale and, if required, a suitably trained operator can assist with operations or the training of on-site staff.
